About the CSA A23.3-14 Concrete Slab Resistance Calculator
What does the CSA A23.3 Concrete Slab Calculator Check?
This calculator is for Concrete Limit State Design (LSD) calculations according to CSA A23.3-14 for concrete slabs, walls and footings.
The following hypothesis apply when using this tool:
- Shear reinforcement in slab, wall or footing not included.
- Cracking moment and clause 10.5.1.1. inequation not included.
- The slab bearing at supports is not included.
- The slab is not subject to torsion or axial loads.
- Rebar anchoring at either end is and rebar splicing is not included.
- Nominal maximum size of coarse aggregate (ag) is not less than 20 mm.
- Normal density concrete (λ = 1.0).
- Serviceability and crack control checks not included.
- Minimum cover distances for various expositions not included.
- Minimum rows or reinforcement in walls not included.
- Lightweight concrete not included (λ = 1.0).
- Fire resistance not included.
How to use this CSA A23.3 Concrete Slab Calculator?
All inputs used in calculations are entered in the left column of the window labelled Input
- Enter the element category in the first dropdown menu. The category is used for minimum thickness checks and limitations on rebar spacing, among other things.
- Enter the slab properties (thickness and concrete strength) in the two following dropdown menus.
- Enter rebar dimension in the next dropdown. For plain concrete (no reinforcement), simply select none.
- For reinforced sections, enter rebar information in the following three dropdown menus (spacing, steel strength and concrete cover)
- Enter factored loads in the two last dropdown menus. Both flexural and shear loads must be factored linear (distributed) loads.
