A 175 mm thick slab is required to support screed, nishes, an

ofce variable action of 2.5 kN/m2 and demountable partitions
(@ 2 kN/m). The slab is supported on load-bearing block walls.
fck = 30 MPa, fyk = 500 MPa. Assume a 50-year design life and a
requirement for 1 hour resistance to re.
qk = 3.3 kN/m2
gk = 5.9 kN/m2

= minimum cover due to bond = diameter of bar

Assume 12 mm main bars.

cmin,dur = minimum cover due to environmental conditions
Assuming XCI and using C30/37 concrete,
cmin,dur = 15 mm
Dcdev = allowance in design for deviation.
Assuming no measurement of cover,
Dcdev = 10 mm
= cnom = 15 + 10 = 25 mm
