Used to input design parameters, design current panel, and review design results for the slab in a mat foundation.

Opens when Mat Foundation Job > Mat analysis/ design options > Slab Designer is selected.

Setting	Description
Grades	Setting Description Fy Specify the yield strength of steel reinforcing bars (fy), in the selected units. Fc Specify the ultimate (crushing)strength of the concrete (f'c), in the selected units.
Covers	Setting Description Top Cover Specify a concrete clear cover distance to be used for the top-most layer of mat reinforcement, in the selected units. Bottom Cover Specify a concrete clear cover distance to be used for the bottom-most layer of mat reinforcement, in the selected units. Pedestal Cover Type a concrete clear cover distance to be used for the pedestal (if one is included), in the selected units.
Reinforcement Size	Setting Description Min. / Max. bar size Minimum and maximum rebar size to be used. Pedmin. / max. bar size Minimum and maximum rebar size to be used in the pedestal, if one is included.
Reinforcement Spacing	Setting Description Max. / Min. spacing Maximum and minimum rebar spacing, respectively, in the selected units.
Consider Wood and Armer moments	Select this option to consider Mxy moment to design the slab. This is a method published by Wood and Armer where Mxy moment is transformed to Mx and My moment.
Ignore check for minimum reinforcement	Instructs the program to design the slab without considering check for minimum reinforcement
Design	Initiates the design of the slab. When the design operation is completed, a message box will appear.
Result summary	Open a table which will show maximum reinforcement requirement condition for all slab faces and direction. The table shows four rows for longitudinal top, longitudinal bottom, transverse top and transverse bottom reinforcement requirement.
Details report	Opens the Mat Slab Design dialog , which is used to add design parameters for specific locations in the slab for both moment design and punching shear.
