8.18.1 Introduction

Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

Slabs, used in floors and roofs of buildings mostly integrated with the supporting beams, carry the distributed loads primarily by bending. It has been mentioned in sec. 5.10.1 of Lesson 10 that a part of the integrated slab is considered as flange of T- or L-beams because of monolithic construction. However, the remaining part of the slab needs design considerations. These slabs are either single span or continuous having different support conditions like fixed, hinged or free along the edges (Figs.8.18.1a,b and c). Though normally these slabs are horizontal, inclined slabs are also used in ramps, stair cases and inclined roofs (Figs.8.18.2 and 3). While square or rectangular plan forms are normally used, triangular, circular and other plan forms are also needed for different functional requirements. This lesson takes up horizontal and rectangular /square slabs of buildings supported by beams in one or both directions and subjected to uniformly distributed vertical loadings. The other types of slabs, not taken up in this module, are given below. All these slabs have additional requirements depending on the nature and magnitude of loadings in respective cases. (a) horizontal or inclined bridge and fly over deck slabs carrying heavy concentrated loads, horizontal slabs of different plan forms like triangular, polygonal or circular, flat slabs having no beams and supported by columns only, inverted slabs in footings with or without beams, slabs with large voids or openings, grid floor and ribbed slabs.

8.18.2 One-way and Two-way Slabs

Figures 8.18.4a and b explain the share of loads on beams supporting solid slabs along four edges when vertical loads are uniformly distributed. It is evident from the figures that the share of loads on beams in two perpendicular directions depends upon the aspect ratio ly /lx of the slab, lx being the shorter span. For large values of ly, the triangular area is much less than the trapezoidal area (Fig.8.18.4a). Hence, the share of loads on beams along shorter span will gradually reduce with increasing ratio of ly /lx. In such cases, it may be said that the loads are primarily taken by beams along longer span. The deflection profiles of the slab along both directions are also shown in the figure. The deflection profile is found to be constant along the longer span except near the edges for the slab panel of Fig.8.18.4a. These slabs are designated as one-way slabs as Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

they span in one direction (shorter one) only for a large part of the slab when ly /lx > 2. On the other hand, for square slabs of ly /lx = 1 and rectangular slabs of ly /lx up to 2, the deflection profiles in the two directions are parabolic (Fig.8.18.4b). Thus, they are spanning in two directions and these slabs with ly /lx up to 2 are designated as two-way slabs, when supported on all edges. It would be noted that an entirely one-way slab would need lack of support on short edges. Also, even for ly /lx < 2, absence of supports in two parallel edges will render the slab one-way. In Fig. 8.18.4b, the separating line at 45 degree is tentative serving purpose of design. Actually, this angle is a function of ly /lx . This lesson discusses the analysis and design aspects of one-way slabs. The two-way slabs are taken up in the next lesson.

8.18.3 Design Shear Strength of Concrete in Slabs
Experimental tests confirmed that the shear strength of solid slabs up to a depth of 300 mm is comparatively more than those of depth greater than 300 mm. Accordingly, cl.40.2.1.1 of IS 456 stipulates the values of a factor k to be multiplied with τ c given in Table 19 of IS 456 for different overall depths of slab. Table 8.1 presents the values of k as a ready reference below: Table 8.1 Values of the multiplying factor k Overall depth of slab (mm) k 300 or more 1.00 275 250 225 200 175 150 or less 1.30

Thin slabs, therefore, have more shear strength than that of thicker slabs. It is the normal practice to choose the depth of the slabs so that the concrete can resist the shear without any stirrups for slab subjected to uniformly distributed loads. However, for deck slabs, culverts, bridges and fly over, shear reinforcement should be provided as the loads are heavily concentrated in those slabs. Though, the selection of depth should be made for normal floor and roof slabs to avoid stirrups, it is essential that the depth is checked for the shear for these slabs taking due consideration of enhanced shear strength as discussed above depending on the overall depth of the slabs.

8.18.4 Structural Analysis
As explained in sec. 8.18.2, one-way slabs subjected to mostly uniformly distributed vertical loads carry them primarily by bending in the shorter direction. Therefore, for the design, it is important to analyse the slab to find out the bending moment (both positive and negative) depending upon the supports. Moreover, the shear forces are also to be computed for such slabs. These internal bending moments and shear forces can be determined using elastic method of analysis considering the slab as beam of unit width i.e. one metre (Fig.8.18.1a). However, these values may also be determined with the help of the coefficients given in Tables 12 and 13 of IS 456 in cl.22.5.1. It is worth mentioning that these coefficients are applicable if the slab is of uniform crosssection and subjected to substantially uniformly distributed loads over three or more spans and the spans do not differ by more than fifteen per cent of the longer span. It is also important to note that the average of the two values of the negative moment at the support should be considered for unequal spans or if the spans are not equally loaded. Further, the redistribution of moments shall not be permitted to the values of moments obtained by employing the coefficients of bending moments as given in IS 456. For slabs built into a masonry wall developing only partial restraint, the negative moment at the face of the support should be taken as Wl/24, where W is the total design loads on unit width and l is the effective span. The shear coefficients, given in Table 13 of IS 456, in such a situation, may be increased by 0.05 at the end support as per cl.22.5.2 of IS 456.

8.18.5 Design Considerations
The primary design considerations of both one and two-way slabs are strength and deflection. The depth of the slab and areas of steel reinforcement are to be determined from these two aspects. The detailed procedure of design of one-way slab is taken up in the next section. However, the following aspects are to be decided first. (a) Effective span (cl.22.2 of IS 456) The effective span of a slab depends on the boundary condition. Table 8.2 gives the guidelines stipulated in cl.22.2 of IS 456 to determine the effective span of a slab. Table 8.2 Effective span of slab (cl.22.2 of IS 456) Sl.No. Support condition 1 Simply supported not built integrally with its supports Effective span Lesser of (i) clear span + effective depth of slab, and (ii) centre to centre of supports Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

(b) Effective span to effective depth ratio (cls.23.2.1a-e of IS 456) The deflection of the slab can be kept under control if the ratios of effective span to effective depth of one-way slabs are taken up from the provisions in cl.23.2.1a-e of IS 456. These stipulations are for the beams and are also applicable for one-way slabs as they are designed considering them as beam of unit width. These provisions are explained in sec.3.6.2.2 of Lesson 6. (c) Nominal cover (cl.26.4 of IS 456) The nominal cover to be provided depends upon durability and fire resistance requirements. Table 16 and 16A of IS 456 provide the respective values. Appropriate value of the nominal cover is to be provided from these tables for the particular requirement of the structure. (d) Minimum reinforcement (cl.26.5.2.1 of IS 456) Both for one and two-way slabs, the amount of minimum reinforcement in either direction shall not be less than 0.15 and 0.12 per cents of the total crosssectional area for mild steel (Fe 250) and high strength deformed bars (Fe 415 and Fe 500)/welded wire fabric, respectively.

Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

(e) Maximum diameter of reinforcing bars (cl.26.5.2.2) The maximum diameter of reinforcing bars of one and two-way slabs shall not exceed one-eighth of the total depth of the slab. (f) Maximum distance between bars (cl.26.3.3 of IS 456) The maximum horizontal distance between parallel main reinforcing bars shall be the lesser of (i) three times the effective depth, or (ii) 300 mm. However, the same for secondary/distribution bars for temperature, shrinkage etc. shall be the lesser of (i) five times the effective depth, or (ii) 450 mm.

8.18.6 Design of One-way Slabs
The procedure of the design of one-way slab is the same as that of beams. However, the amounts of reinforcing bars are for one metre width of the slab as to be determined from either the governing design moments (positive or negative) or from the requirement of minimum reinforcement. The different steps of the design are explained below. Step 1: Selection of preliminary depth of slab The depth of the slab shall be assumed from the span to effective depth ratios as given in section 3.6.2.2 of Lesson 6 and mentioned here in sec.8.18.5b. Step 2: Design loads, bending moments and shear forces The total factored (design) loads are to be determined adding the estimated dead load of the slab, load of the floor finish, given or assumed live loads etc. after multiplying each of them with the respective partial safety factors. Thereafter, the design positive and negative bending moments and shear forces are to be determined using the respective coefficients given in Tables 12 and 13 of IS 456 and explained in sec.8.18.4 earlier. Step 3: Determination/checking of the effective and total depths of slabs The effective depth of the slab shall be determined employing Eq.3.25 of sec.3.5.6 of Lesson 5 and is given below as a ready reference here, Mu,lim = R,lim bd2 …. (3.25)

where the values of R,lim for three different grades of concrete and three different grades of steel are given in Table 3.3 of Lesson 5 (sec.3.5.6). The value of b shall be taken as one metre.

Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

The total depth of the slab shall then be determined adding appropriate nominal cover (Table 16 and 16A of cl.26.4 of IS 456) and half of the diameter of the larger bar if the bars are of different sizes. Normally, the computed depth of the slab comes out to be much less than the assumed depth in Step 1. However, final selection of the depth shall be done after checking the depth for shear force. Step 4: Depth of the slab for shear force Theoretically, the depth of the slab can be checked for shear force if the design shear strength of concrete is known. Since this depends upon the percentage of tensile reinforcement, the design shear strength shall be assumed considering the lowest percentage of steel. The value of τ c shall be modified after knowing the multiplying factor k from the depth tentatively selected for the slab in Step 3. If necessary, the depth of the slab shall be modified. Step 5: Determination of areas of steel Area of steel reinforcement along the direction of one-way slab should be determined employing Eq.3.23 of sec.3.5.5 of Lesson 5 and given below as a ready reference. Mu = 0.87 fy Ast d {1 – (Ast)(fy)/(fck)(bd)} …. (3.23)

The above equation is applicable as the slab in most of the cases is underreinforced due to the selection of depth larger than the computed value in Step 3. The area of steel so determined should be checked whether it is at least the minimum area of steel as mentioned in cl.26.5.2.1 of IS 456 and explained in sec.8.18.5d. Alternatively, tables and charts of SP-16 may be used to determine the depth of the slab and the corresponding area of steel. Tables 5 to 44 of SP-16 covering a wide range of grades of concrete and Chart 90 shall be used for determining the depth and reinforcement of slabs. Tables of SP-16 take into consideration of maximum diameter of bars not exceeding one-eighth the depth of the slab. Zeros at the top right hand corner of these tables indicate the region where the percentage of reinforcement would exceed pt,lim. Similarly, zeros at the lower left and corner indicate the region where the reinforcement is less than the minimum stipulated in the code. Therefore, no separate checking is needed for the allowable maximum diameter of the bars or the computed area of steel exceeding the minimum area of steel while using tables and charts of SP-16. The amount of steel reinforcement along the large span shall be the minimum amount of steel as per cl.26.5.2.1 of IS 456 and mentioned in sec.8.18.5d earlier.

Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

Step 6: Selection of diameters and spacings of reinforcing bars (cls.26.5.2.2 and 26.3.3 of IS 456) The diameter and spacing of bars are to be determined as per cls.26.5.2.2 and 26.3.3 of IS 456. As mentioned in Step 5, this step may be avoided when using the tables and charts of SP-16.

8.18.7 Detailing of Reinforcement

Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

Figures 8.18.5a and b present the plan and section 1-1 of one-way continuous slab showing the different reinforcing bars in the discontinuous and continuous ends (DEP and CEP, respectively) of end panel and continuous end of adjacent panel (CAP). The end panel has three bottom bars B1, B2 and B3 and four top bars T1, T2, T3 and T4. Only three bottom bars B4, B5 and B6 are shown in the adjacent panel. Table 8.3 presents these bars mentioning the respective zone of their placement (DEP/CEP/CAP), direction of the bars (along x or y) and the resisting moment for which they shall be designed or if to be provided on the basis of minimum reinforcement. These bars are explained below for the three types of ends of the two panels. Table 8.3 Steel bars of one-way slab (Figs.8.18.5a and b) Sl.No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Bars B1, B2 B3 B4, B5 B6 T1, T2 T3 T4 Panel DEP DEP CAP CAP CEP DEP DEP Along x y x y x x y Resisting moment + 0.5 Mx for each, Minimum steel + 0.5 Mx for each, Minimum steel - 0.5 Mx for each, + 0.5 Mx Minimum steel

Notes: (i) DEP = Discontinuous End Panel (ii) CEP = Continuous End Panel (iii) CAP = Continuous Adjacent Panel (i) Discontinuous End Panel (DEP) • Bottom steel bars B1 and B2 are alternately placed such that B1 bars are curtailed at a distance of 0.25 lx1 from the adjacent support and B2 bars are started from a distance of 0.15lx1 from the end support. Thus, both B1 and B2 bars are present in the middle zone covering 0.6lx1, each of which is designed to resist positive moment 0.5Mx. These bars are along the direction of x and are present from one end to the other end of ly. Bottom steel bars B3 are along the direction of y and cover the entire span lx1 having the minimum area of steel. The first bar shall be placed at a distance not exceeding s/2 from the left discontinuous support, where s is the spacing of these bars in y direction. Top bars T3 are along the direction of x for resisting the negative moment which is numerically equal to fifty per cent of positive Mx. These Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur





bars are continuous up to a distance of 0.1lx1 from the centre of support at the discontinuous end. • Top bars T4 are along the direction of y and provided up to a distance of 0.1lx1 from the centre of support at discontinuous end. These are to satisfy the requirement of minimum steel.

(ii) Continuous End Panel (CEP) • Top bars T1 and T2 are along the direction of x and cover the entire ly. They are designed for the maximum negative moment Mx and each has a capacity of -0.5Mx. Top bars T1 are continued up to a distance of 0.3lx1, while T2 bars are only up to a distance of 0.15lx1. Top bars T4 are along y and provided up to a distance of 0.3lx1 from the support. They are on the basis of minimum steel requirement.



(iii) Continuous Adjacent Panel (CAP) • • Bottom bars B4 and B5 are similar to B1 and B2 bars of (i) above. Bottom bars B6 are similar to B3 bars of (i) above.

Detailing is an art and hence structural requirement can be satisfied by more than one mode of detailing each valid and acceptable.

8.18.8 Numerical Problems
(a) Problem 8.1 Design the one-way continuous slab of Fig.8.18.6 subjected to uniformly distributed imposed loads of 5 kN/m2 using M 20 and Fe 415. The load of floor finish is 1 kN/m2. The span dimensions shown in the figure are effective spans. The width of beams at the support = 300 mm.

Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

Solution of Problem 8.1 Step 1: Selection of preliminary depth of slab The basic value of span to effective depth ratio for the slab having simple support at the end and continuous at the intermediate is (20+26)/2 = 23 (cl.23.2.1 of IS 456). Modification factor with assumed p = 0.5 and fs = 240 N/mm2 is obtained as 1.18 from Fig.4 of IS 456. Therefore, the minimum effective depth = 3000/23(1.18) = 110.54 mm. Let us take the effective depth d = 115 mm and with 25 mm cover, the total depth D = 140 mm.

Step 2: Design loads, bending moment and shear force Dead loads of slab of 1 m width = 0.14(25) = 3.5 kN/m Dead load of floor finish =1.0 kN/m

Factored dead load = 1.5(4.5) = 6.75 kN/m Factored live load = 1.5(5.0) = 7.50 kN/m Total factored load = 14.25 kN/m Maximum moments and shear are determined from the coefficients given in Tables 12 and 13 of IS 456. Maximum positive moment = 14.25(3)(3)/12 = 10.6875 kNm/m Maximum negative moment = 14.25(3)(3)/10 = 12.825 kNm/m Maximum shear Vu = 14.25(3)(0.4) = 17.1 kN Step 3: Determination of effective and total depths of slab From Eq.3.25 of sec. 3.5.6 of Lesson 5, we have Mu,lim = R,lim bd2 where R,lim is 2.76 N/mm2 from Table 3.3 of sec. 3.5.6 of Lesson 5. So, d = {12.825(106)/(2.76)(1000)}0.5 = 68.17 mm

Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

Since, the computed depth is much less than that determined in Step 1, let us keep D = 140 mm and d = 115 mm.

Step 4: Depth of slab for shear force Table 19 of IS 456 gives τ c = 0.28 N/mm2 for the lowest percentage of steel in the slab. Further for the total depth of 140 mm, let us use the coefficient k of cl. 40.2.1.1 of IS 456 as 1.3 to get τ c = k τ c = 1.3(0.28) = 0.364 N/mm2. Table 20 of IS 456 gives τ c max = 2.8 N/mm2. For this problem τ v = Vu /bd = 17.1/115 = 0.148 N/mm2. Since, τ v < τ c < τ c max , the effective depth d = 115 mm is acceptable.

Step 5: Determination of areas of steel From Eq.3.23 of sec. 3.5.5 of Lesson 5, we have

Mu = 0.87 fy Ast d {1 – (Ast)(fy)/(fck)(bd)} (i) For the maximum negative bending moment 12825000 = 0.87(415)(Ast)(115){1 – (Ast)(415)/(1000)(115)(20)} or
2 Ast - 5542.16 Ast + 1711871.646 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we have the negative Ast = 328.34 mm2 (ii) For the maximum positive bending moment 10687500 = 0.87(415) Ast(115) {1 – (Ast)(415)/(1000)(115)(20)} or
2 Ast - 5542.16 Ast + 1426559.705 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we have the positive Ast = 270.615 mm2 Alternative approach: Use of Table 2 of SP-16 (i) For negative bending moment Mu/bd2 = 0.9697 Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

Table 2 of SP-16 gives: ps = 0.2859 (by linear interpolation). So, the area of negative steel = 0.2859(1000)(115)/100 = 328.785 mm2. (ii) For positive bending moment Mu/bd2 = 0.8081 Table 2 of SP-16 gives: ps = 0.23543 (by linear interpolation). So, the area of positive steel = 0.23543(1000)(115)/100 = 270.7445 mm2. These areas of steel are comparable with those obtained by direct computation using Eq.3.23.

Distribution steel bars along longer span ly Distribution steel area = Minimum steel area = 0.12(1000)(140)/100 = 168 mm . Since, both positive and negative areas of steel are higher than the minimum area, we provide:
2

(a) For negative steel: 10 mm diameter bars @ 230 mm c/c for which Ast = 341 mm2 giving ps = 0.2965. (b) For positive steel: 8 mm diameter bars @ 180 mm c/c for which Ast = 279 mm2 giving ps = 0.2426 (c) For distribution steel: Provide 8 mm diameter bars @ 250 mm c/c for which Ast (minimum) = 201 mm2. Step 6: Selection of diameter and spacing of reinforcing bars The diameter and spacing already selected in step 5 for main and distribution bars are checked below: For main bars (cl. 26.3.3.b.1 of IS 456), the maximum spacing is the lesser of 3d and 300 mm i.e., 300 mm. For distribution bars (cl. 26.3.3.b.2 of IS 456), the maximum spacing is the lesser of 5d or 450 mm i.e., 450 mm. Provided spacings, therefore, satisfy the requirements. Maximum diameter of the bars (cl. 26.5.2.2 of IS 456) shall not exceed 140/8 = 17 mm is also satisfied with the bar diameters selected here.

Figure 8.18.7 presents the detailing of the reinforcement bars. The abbreviation B1 to B3 and T1 to T4 are the bottom and top bars, respectively which are shown in Fig.8.18.5 for a typical one-way slab. The above design and detailing assume absence of support along short edges. When supports along short edges exist and there is eventual clamping top reinforcement would be necessary at shorter supports also.

The span dimensions shown in the figure are effective spans. The width of the support is 300 mm. A.10:

Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

Step 1: Selection of preliminary depth of slab Basic value of span to depth ratio (cl. 23.2.1 of IS 456) = 7 Modification factor = 1.18 (see Problem 8.1) Minimum effective depth = 1850/7(1.18) = 223.97 mm Assume d = 225 mm and D = 250 mm. Step 2: Design loads, bending moment and shear force Factored dead loads = (1.5)(0.25)(25) = 9.375 kN/m Factored load of floor finish = (1.5)(0.75) = 1.125 kN/m Factored live loads = (1.5)(5) = 7.5 kN/m Total factored loads = 18.0 kN/m Maximum negative moment = 18.0(1.85)(1.85)(0.5) = 30.8025 kNm/m Maximum shear force = 18.0(1.85) = 33.3 kN/m Step 3: Determination of effective and total depths of slab From Eq.3.25, Step 3 of sec. 8.18.6, we have d = {30.8025(106)/2.76(103)}0.5 = 105.64 mm, considering the value of R = 2.76 N/mm2 from Table 3.3 of sec. 3.5.5 of Lesson 5. This depth is less than assumed depth of slab in Step 1. Hence, assume d = 225 mm and D = 250 mm. Step 4: Depth of slab for shear force Using the value of k = 1.1 (cl. 40.2.1.1 of IS 456) for the slab of 250 mm depth, we have τ c (from Table 19 of IS 456) = 1.1(0.28) = 0.308 N/mm2. Table 20 of IS 456 gives τ c max = 2.8 N/mm2. Here, τ v = Vu / bd = 33.3/225 = 0.148 N/mm 2 . The depth of the slab is safe in shear as τ v < τ c < τ c max . Step 5: Determination of areas of steel (using table of SP-16) Table 44 gives 10 mm diameter bars @ 200 mm c/c can resist 31.43 kNm/m > 30.8025 kNm/m. Fifty per cent of the bars should be curtailed at a Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

distance of larger of Ld or 0.5lx. Table 65 of SP-16 gives Ld of 10 mm bars = 470 mm and 0.5lx = 0.5(1850) = 925 mm from the face of the column. The curtailment distance from the centre line of beam = 925 + 150 = 1075, say 1100 mm. The above, however, is not admissible as the spacing of bars after the curtailment exceeds 300 mm. So, we provide 10 mm @ 300 c/c and 8 mm @ 300 c/c. The moment of resistance of this set is 34.3 kNm/m > 30.8025 kNm/m (see Table 44 of SP-16).

Figure 8.18.9 presents the detailing of reinforcing bars of this problem.

This is one-way slab as ly/lx = 8/3.5 = 2.285 > 2. The calculations are shown in different steps below: Step 1: Selection of preliminary depth of slab Clause 23.2.1 stipulates the basic value of span to effective depth ratio of 20. Using the modification factor of 1.18 from Fig.4 of IS 456, with p = 0.5 per cent and fs = 240 N/mm2, we have the span to effective depth ratio = 20(1.18) = 23.6. So, the minimum effective depth of slab = 3500/23.6 = 148.305 mm. Let us take d = 150 mm and D = 175 mm. Step 2: Design loads, bending moment and shear force Factored dead loads of slab = (1.5)(0.175)(25) = 6.5625 kN/m Factored load of floor finish = (1.5)(1) = 1.5 kN/m Factored live load = (1.5)(4) = 6.0 kN/m Total factored load = 14.0625 kN/m Maximum positive bending moment = 14.0625(3.5)(3.5)/8 kNm/m Maximum shear force = 14.0625(3.5)(0.5) = 24.61 kN/m Step 3: Determination/checking of the effective and total depths of slab Using Eq.3.25 as explained in Step 3 of sec. 8.18.6, we have d = {21.533(106)/(2.76)(103)}0.5 = 88.33 mm < 150 mm, as assumed in Step 1. So, let us keep d = 150 mm and D = 175 mm. Step 4: Depth of the slab for shear force With the multiplying factor k = 1.25 for the depth as 175 mm (vide Table 8.1 of this lesson) and τ c = 0.28 N/mm2 from Table 19 of IS 456, we have τ c = 1.25(0.28) = 0.35 N/mm2. Table 20 of IS 456 gives τ c max = 2.8 N/mm2. For this problem: = 21.533

τ v = 24.61(1000 )/(1000)(1 50) = 0.1641 N/mm 2 .
Thus, the effective depth of slab as 150 mm is safe as τ v < τ c < τ c max . Version 2 CE IIT, Kharagpur

Step 5: Determination of areas of steel Table 41 of SP-16 gives 8 mm diameter bars @ 120 mm c/c have 22.26 kNm/m > 21.533 kNm/m. Hence, provide 8 mm T @ 120 mm c/c as main positive steel bars along the short span of 3.5 mm. The minimum amount of reinforcement (cl. 26.5.2.1 of IS 456) = 0.12(175)(1000)/100 = 210 mm2. Provide 6 mm diameter bars @ 120 mm c/c (236 mm2) along the large span of 8m. Figure 8.18.10b shows the detailing of reinforcing bars.

8.18.12 Summary of this Lesson

Marble Slab

...Background on the Marble Slab Company: Marble Slab Creamery founded in 1983 in Houston, Texas. It was an independently owned and operated franchise around the United States, in 2003 Cream Company was given the rights to license and develop Mable Slab franchises in Canada. In Feburary 2007 Marble Slab Creamery was purchased by a company called NexCan Brans Inc. Mable Slab nearly 400 stores worldwide and its main product was Ice Cream. Executive Summary: P. Thomas has recently acquired herself a franchise of Marble Slab Creamery. Penny Thomas had set herself the goal of making $400,000 in revenue within the first year of business, Penny plans to invest $10,000 from her long term loan into marketing and really promoting the opening of her franchise of Marble Slab Creamery. To achieve the goal of $400,000 in a year Penny needs to sell at a dollar amount of $1,096 daily, assuming the average sale is $5.20 per product, this means on a daily basis Penny would need to sell on average 211 products. ($400,000/365days = $1,096 per day) ($5.20 X 211 products = $1,097.20) (Exhibit 1) To create a flourishing business, the owner has to select a target market that they want the advertisement to appeal to, then they must determine an efficient way to reach out to that market.

Thin Slab

...The critical issue in this case is loss in sales coupled by rising costs and falling net earnings for Nucor.The 1 st supporting evidence in this case is the rising costs involved for Nucor in its processes. If you look at Exhibit 6, we can see that COGS for Nucor started with 55% of sales and has grownat an alarmingly increasing rate and grown to 81% of sales by the end of 1986. This indicatesthat Nucor has not been able to garner effective sales growth and in contrast has shown risingCOGS over its lifespan. This has led to loss of earnings and hence decreased ROA for Nucor Also, the case talks about investment on part of NUCOR into the beam segment (YamatoKogyo) and also the thin flat sheet segment (SMS). NUCOR is not being able to decide on SMSinvestment because of loss of funds and high risks. The total investment in these two ventureswould total $410 million and NUCOR only had $185 million & few securities on hand. Nucor has not been able to invest into new plans from 1981. Prior to 1981, NUCOR was knowsfor its investment into new plants and continuous reformation of technology. But NUCOR has been stagnant in terms for developing new technologies since 1981 and this has also contributedto its loss in sales over time. NUCOR had spent $6million in the Hazelett Caster but it was not as efficient as it had planned itto be. It had led to more complex problems such as expensive conveyor belts, which requiredcontinuous replacement and led to considerable down time and also led...

Marble Slab Creamery

...We would also recommend including the following missing points into SWOT: One of additional strengths that we would include is the high quality of the ice cream and “super premium” ingredients that Marble Slab uses in its products. Penny Thomas can use this strength to the benefit of her promotion strategy to stress brand differences to better position the franchise against its competitors. Another strong characteristic of a franchise is assistance with expertise in areas like financing, real estate and marketing. This is a major advantage for a startup company, where potential financial risks can be minimized due to backing by the head company. A weakness that was not pointed out is relatively high pricing of Marble Slab offerings. This weakness indicates that Penny Thomas will have to target a market of customers who would be willing to pay for “affordable luxury.” An additional opportunity that we would suggest to list is changes in tastes. While the rich and flavorful taste of original ice cream is still more appealing to the majority, there might be an increase of followers of ongoing trends towards healthy eating. This trend can negatively affect ice cream sales. We can also suggest two more threats that can possibly affect Marble Slab franchise operations in the future. The entrance of...

Marble Slab and Mr. Brown

...Marble Slab Creamery, is a internationally managed restaurant located in Le Mall Sin El Fil, Le Royal Hotel Dbaye, Alley, City Mall Dora specializes in serving all natural ice cream. Marble slab is located in a prime location (Malls) which causes some problems because not everyone is willing to go to a Mall just to eat ice cream thus having a low market share especially in the presence of competition such as “Gelato” and “Bouzza Bashir” which are independent shops. In a culture like ours people are prone to eat from places that are more affordable and have been in the market for a years. Marble Slab opened their first store in City Mall on 2008, Marble Slab delivered high quality customer service, along with high quality ice cream. Having no advertising made it harder for people to know more about Marble Slab thus making it harder for them to reach a large number of their target audience. Marble Slab started to get known from people that go to the malls, which are mostly mothers of children and teenagers that hang around in the food courts at malls. Marble Slab did not just offer great quality ice cream but also offered cakes and catering for different events, different kinds of cones and brownies. As mentioned before Marble Slab did not have any advertising so anyone that wanted to know more about the products had to visit their Facebook page or their website.

...POLITICAL “Penny Thomas an MBA graduate acquired the ownership rights to Marble Slab Creamery franchise located in Ontario, Canada” (Zatsman & Grasby, 2009, p. 1). “NexCen Brands Inc. owned the Marble Slab but played small role in the daily operations of their locations” (p. 2). In an ice cream industry, any changes in regulatory for foods such as diary could force changes in this type of business. But since “assistance is given in terms of financing, real estate and marketing, and because the store is backed up by a large well-established company” (p. 2), her franchise have the ability and privilege of financial risk of any financial disaster being reduced and the consequences of being not as much severe. This acts as a safety net for Thomas’ store, which is helpful and the store can feel more secure. ECONOMICAL When global economic strike, for instance in U.S, it affects the economic outlook and result to people spending less. A recession in United States “raises fear on how the Canadian economy will be affected later with the decline in Canadian exports and commodity prices (Zatsman & Grasby, 2009, p. 3)”, and this could possibly hit the country’s economy. This instability increases concerns for the business, might hurt in the future because if recession does hit, less consumers will be able to afford the “high quality, super-premium” (p. 1) of Marble Slab so sales will decline. Also the business deals with “dairy products, commodity products such as cocoa and sugar...

Unicon Operation Strategy

...opportunity to complete this project for the PRC, faced a big challenge. The capacity of the project was 90 blocs. The company has only been able to complete a 7 block per year radius. The total capacity of the industry itself was 20 blocks per year. Demand for 2 of its 4 products - precast concrete facades & slabs, which are in current production, is in high demand for the Hong Kong market. These 2 products already represent close to 54% of the sales of Unicon. The fact that the total capacity of the industry is 20 blocks per year clearly indicates that competition will be entering the Hong Kong market. Unicon, in fact, already expects a minimum of 5 new competitors to enter the HK market for construction suppliers. There are currently already 4 competitors in the HK market. Unicon needs to move fast to be able to stay ahead of the competition entering the market. The opportunity for expansion is great. Based on our evaluation, we recommend that Mr. Li: • Work on the blanket approval with the HKHA to short cut the approval process; • Re-organize the company structure by moving from “make to order” to “make to stock” between interior walls, facades and slabs to support the demand for these product; • Implement changes in production - introduce a second shift to solve the problem of the 2.5 hours morning set up in order to support our strategic operational plan. To implement these recommendations, we have considered an strategy of 0-6 months while our 5 year long-term...

Nucor

...new steel mill to commercialize thin-slab casting? This paper examines why Nucor is considering making such an investment and what risks are involved if they choose to adopt the technology. Based on this analysis, the paper will conclude with a recommended path for Nucor Steel. YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO RICH OR TOO THIN The flat sheet segment accounts for 52% of the U.S. market for steel. The large integrated steel mills such as U.S. Steel, LTV Steel, and Bethlehem Steel dominate this important segment. Minimills such as Nucor are shut out of the flat sheet market because with conventional steel-making technology, the minimum efficient scale for flat sheet production is too high, with optimal capacities for each plant reaching 3 million tons per year and investment costs close to $2 billion. In contrast, minimills typically only produce 800,000 to 1 million tons per year, with investment levels closer to $300 million. The cost advantages from thin-slab casting are substantial. If viable, thin-slab casting minimills could become a category killer in the flat sheet segment. For hot rolled flat sheets, the operating costs per ton for a thin-slab minimill is 14% less than a modernized integrated steel mill, and 25% less than an unmodernized mill. For cold rolled flat sheets, the cost advantages are even more dramatic – with thin-slab minimills costing 19% less than a modernized steel mill, and 30% less than an unmodernized mill. 1 Thin-Slab Minimill Hot Rolled Sheet Operating Costs...
