Fig. 1-3 shows a layout plan for a 1st floor office building, which will be constructed using cast in-
situ reinforced concrete. The slab thickness is 175 mm and dead load (finishes + services) is 1
kN/m2. Due to most of the area will be occupied for labs, therefore the impose load is 3.0 kN/m2.
Assume the building needs 1.5 hours of fire protection, concrete C35/45, fyk = 460 N/mm2. Design
slab panel B-C/1-2.

1. Load Analysis:
Loading on slab:
Slab s.w. = 0.175 × 24 = 4.2 kN/m2
Finishes + services = 1.0 kN/m2
Total permanent load, Gk = 5.2 kN/m2
Variable load, Qk = 3.0 kN/m2
Design load (on slab), wos = 1.35 × 5.2 + 1.5 × 3 = 11.52 kN/m2
Bending moment:
ly /lx = 7000/5000

x – direction: support:
K = M/bd2fck = (21.3 × 106) / (1000 × 1352 × 35)
= 0.033 < Kmin = 0.167 Singly reinf.!

Torsional reinforcement:
Corner C: As = 0.75(308) = 231 mm2/m
Corner B: As = 0.50(231) = 116 mm2/m
Propose:
Along short span – mid: T10-250-BB (As,prov = 314 mm2/m)
