SLAB DESIGN

DESIGN OF ONE-WAY SLAB

Given: GUIDELINES:
live load: 3.8 kPa fc' = 27.5 mPa 1. Fill-up only colored cells with their corresponding values.
fy = 415 mPa L: 1.2 m slab length
floor finish: 1.1 kPa f = 0.9 cover = 20 mm concrete stress and strain
ceiling finish: 0.24 kPa b1 = 0.85 type of loading
mech. duct allowance: 0.25 kPa conc. unit wt.= 23.5 kN/m3 miscellaneous dead loads
electrical load: 0 kPa rebars diameter and concrete cover
partition load: 0 kPa using 12 mm rebars constants for computing h and Mu.
miscellaneous load: 1 kPa Ad = 113.10 mm2 2. Avoid editing non-colored cells for it may cause unreasonable design.
3. For the design of sections having different moments, just replace tha value of
denominator for Mu for that corresponding section.

minimum slab thickness, h computations due to rounding-off numbers. Computer uses complete decimal

say S = 770 mm

Smax = 2h = 2 ( 70 ) = 140 mm or 450 mm

Therefore, Smax = 140 mm

S > Smax Therefore S = 140 mm
