Design Examples
Based on the figures below, design beam 3/A-D. Consider it is condominium structure, width of
column is same as width of the beam, column height = 3.5 m, finishes = 1.5 kN/m2, design life = 50
years, 3-hr of fire rating, concrete grade = C30/37 and fyk = 460MPa.
Reference Calculation
Try slab thickness = 150 mm
Slab s.w. = 0.15 × 24 = 3.6 kN/m2
Total permanent action = 5.1 kN/m2
Variable action = 2.0 kN/m2
Loading on slab:
Ly/Lx = 6.5/3 > 2 1-ways slab
Stiffness coefficient:
Icolumn = bh3/12 = (250 × 2503)/12 = 3.26 × 108 mm4
