Computer program for analysis and design of rectangular edge-supported two-way slabs by coefficient method

الملخص EN

A computer program to analysis and design any rectangular edge-supported two-way slab under effects of uniformly distributed load is presented here.

The program which called (POTWS–Program Of Two-Way Slabs) analyzes the two-way slab according to the coefficient method (or method three) and satisfies all design requirements of the (ACI 318M-2008).

The deflection computes and compares with the permissible limit.

QuickBASIC language used to construct the program.

The analysis steps and design results concern middle strip of the slab.

The main program with related external file briefly discussed.

The program results were accurate, precise and coincide with hand calculations results.

The present program facilitates the designer job and makes him gain the time as well as opens the way to study the effects of many design parameters easily.
