REINFORCED CONCRETE FLOOR SLABS. 



1121 



The thickness of floor slabs when supported on longitudinal joists or stringers is given in 

 T.i! ilc II and the thickness of floor slabs when supported on cross floorbeams (stringerless floor) 

 is given in Table III. The reinforcing steel for reinforced concrete floor slabs is given in Table 

 IV. The reinforcement given in the table is to be placed at the bottom of slabs calculated as 

 simply supported and at top and bottom of slabs calculated as continuous or partially continuous. 



TABLE II. 

 THICKNESS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FLOOR SLABS, USED WITH JOISTS. 



TABLE III. 

 THICKNESS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FLOOR SLABS, USED WITHOUT JOISTS. 



Examples of Reinforced Concrete Floor Slabs. The reinforced concrete floor slabs used by 

 the Wisconsin Highway Commission are given in Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 21 and Fig. 22. The floor 

 slabs used by the Iowa Highway Commission are given in Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 17, and Fig. 24. 

 'For a stringerless floor the slabs used by the Iowa commission agree very closely with the values 

 given in Table III.
