Slab Design
A slab is a structural element, made of concrete, that is used to create flat horizontal surfaces such as floors, roof decks and ceilings. A slab is generally several inches thick and supported by beams, columns, walls, or the ground.

Design of Slab with Beams (Direct Design Method)
The direct design method (DDM) ACI Code 8.10 is an approximate procedure for the analysis and design of two-way slabs. It is limited to slab systems subjected to uniformly distribution loads and supported on equally or nearly spaced columns

DESIGN OF FLAT SLAB SYSTEM WITH BEAMS ON ALL SIDES
DDM is very simplest and approximate method for analysis of flat slab. In this method total moment (M0) is calculated and then it distributed to total Negative Moment and total Positive moment All the Negative & Positive moments are distributed in the column strips & Middle strips respectively.

Lower Ground Slab Design (Two Way Panels)
The construction of a floor slab is done in five steps: The founding (shallow foundation / deep foundation) Depending on the subsoil, the first decision is which type of foundation to use. … The drainage. … Formwork and installation of the spacers. … The reinforcement. … The concreting.

First Floor Slab Design (Two Way Panels)
Concrete floor slab formation method involves the construction of formwork, placing and reinforcement of the floor. The first step is to bring together and put up formwork, the second step is to put in order and place reinforcement, the third step is to pour, compact, and finish concrete.

Wood Shear Wall with an Opening
Shear walls are generally located at the sides of buildings or arranged in the form of core that houses stairs and lifts. Due to functional requirements such as doors, windows, and other openings, a shear wall in a building contains many openings.

Shear Wall Design
The design of shear walls involves providing adequate cross-section and reinforcements to resist bending, shear, axial, and twisting forces due to gravity and lateral loads. For an element to be described as a reinforced concrete wall, the length to thickness ratio should be equal to or greater than 4 (Clause 9.6.
Lateral Force for One-Story Wall Based on UBC 97
In wood, concrete and masonry structures, the most common element used to resist lateral loads are shear walls or cores walls. A shear wall is a segment of wall that is stiff enough to attract the lateral loads applied to a structure and transfer them down to the buildings foundation.
