REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS DESIGN BASED UPON CONCRETE CODE OF IRAN (CCI) AND BRITISH STANDARD (BS) PROVISIONS

One of the common methods for analyzing and designing two-way reinforced concrete slabs is the Moment Coefficients Method. In this paper, the Moment Coefficients Method for designing two-way slabs stated in the Concrete Code of Iran (CCI) is considered and compared with the same method stated in the British Standard (BS). For this purpose, the provisions recommended in the above mentioned codes are compared first, and then the differences are discussed. The effect of different provisions on determining the amount of the required steel for the slabs having different edge conditions is considered through a numerical study. In the end, the cases in which the use of a specific code gives conservative or economic results are concluded.
