Design of Two-way Slab by Coefficient Method

There are several methods by which two-way slabs can be designed. All methods are viable provided that the safety and serviceability of the element is within the acceptable limits. The coefficient method may be the simplest, easiest, quickest approach for the design of two-way slab supported by edge beam on all slab sides. This method was provided in American Concrete Institute (ACI) in 1963 to design two-way slabs carried by steel beams, deep beam, or walls. Nonetheless, the coefficient method is not included in the current edition of ACI code. This is because it is considered to be too conservative
