[TRAN QUOC HOANG]

Hi All,

Im dealing with the problem, how to design the voided slab (by using u boot system).

Doese anyone know the Code to be used for designing this slab system. Please advise.

Thank you.

In the USA, you would design to the requirements of ACI-318, however, you will not get a 'cook-book' procedure etc.

The following reference may assist you in design:

1. ACI paper by Fanella, Mahamid & Mota entitled "Design of Flat Plate Voided Concrete Slab Systems" : Link​

2. CRSI has a 56-page design guide entitled: "Design Guide for Voided Slabs": Link​
