what is the long term deflection limitation for the two way concrete slab? ACI 9.5.2.5(ACI 318-99) EQ 9-10 is too confusing, is any quick way to get the allowable deflection limitation to compare the result we got from ram concept?
We have 9" flat cast-in-place concrete slab with concrete columns. Because the parking garage in the first floor and the basement, the column spacing has to go 29' apart. According to ACI, the minimum slab thickness should be l/30, which is about 12", but client doesn't want to use that much...
We have a project 14 stories cast-in-place concrete building with shear wall. Try to model it using software, which one is the best now in the market. So far we are thinking about ETBS or Stad.
