CONTINUOUS ONE WAY SLAB EXAMPLE 3.

Figure below shows a first floor plan of an office building. It is estimated that the 125 mm thick
slab will carry 4.0 kN/m2 variable action and 1.0 kN/m2 load from finishes & suspended ceiling.
This building is exposed to XC1 exposure class. Using concrete class C30/37 and high yield steel,
prepare a complete design and detailing for this slab.

Variable action, qk = 4.0 kN/m2

SOLUTION:
1. Calculate the design load acting on the slab.
Self-weight of slab = 25 x slab thickness

= 3.125 kN/m2

Finishes & ceiling

= 1.0 kN/m2

Total charac. permanent action, gk

= 4.125 kN/m2

Total charac. variable action, qk

= 4.0

Design load, n

kN/m2

= 1.35 gk + 1.5 qk
= 1.35 ( 4.125 ) + 1.5 (4)
= 11.57 kN/m2

Consider 1 m width of slab, w

= 11.57 x 1 m

2. Design the main reinforcement.


i)

Nominal cover
Minimum cover (bond), Cmin,b = bar = 10 mm
Minimum cover (durability), Cmin,dur = 15 mm
Minimum value = 10 mm
Cmin = maximum value = 15 mm
Cnom = Cmin + Cdev
= 15 + 10
= 25 mm

Therefore, slab is safe against deflection.

OK ! (Section 7.3.3 EC2)
specific measures to control cracking is not necessary.

ii)

Maximum bar spacing, smax,slabs (Section 9.3 EC2)


a) For main reinforcement:
Smax, slabs = 3h 400 mm = 375 mm
Actual bar spacing = 300 mm < Smax, slabs

OK !

b) For transverse reinforcement:


Smax, slabs = 3.5h 450 mm = 437.5 mm
Actual bar spacing = 300 mm < Smax, slabs

OK !
