ABSTRACT
This study's main target was to analyze and design rectangular edges supported two ways solid slabs by using ES EN
1992-1-1:2015. Slab design is often carried out either manually or with the use of design and analytic software. The
researcher sees that some software cannot accept some countries' standard codes. For example, currently in Ethiopia
analysis and design of two-way solid slab is done using readily available excelling sheet template. But working with this
might have many problems, firstly the structure that is already analyzed by SAP or SAFE or any other international
software application that uses international codes but which cannot design structure using ES EN 1992; for instant
euro codes and designed by excel sheet can create failure and uneconomical analysis and design result. In this paper,
the slab is designed and analyzed based on the chosen concrete grade, chosen reinforcement bar diameter, chosen
steel grade for design and analysis of slabs calculations like load, moment, shear, and deflection checking using the
moment coefficient method for analysis and design and microsoft visual basic 2010 for coding. All input values are
given by the international standard units and are also used to represent output values. Using manual calculations
delays time and mostly the result is not correct. But using this computer program can increase computation accuracy
and save time. The procedure the researcher followed is, first the manual calculation has been done and then
SADSE2021 has been done. The result is that both are 99.9% identical, and the disadvantage of this method is that
it cannot be used to determine the detailed drawing.
