2. Bending
Design as if they consists of a series of beam of 1 m
breadth.
Consist of main steel in direction of the span and
secondary or distributed steel in transverse direction.
The main steel should form the outer layer of
reinforcement to give the maximum lever arm, z.
The calculation for bending reinforcement follow the
procedure for beam,
Calculate the area of tension reinforcement ( main
steel)
As = M/0.87fykz
Shear
Need to check not to fail in shear
Can be calculated as beams
The design shear force, VEd is less than the design of
shear resistance of the concrete alone, VRd,c , no shear
reinforcement is necessary.
Reinforcement details

Longitudinal steel
Maximum or minimum % of longitudinal steel;

and As 0.04 Ac
Transverse steel
The area of secondary steel; As ,trans,min 0.2 x As ,main
b. Spacing of reinforcement
The clear distance between reinforcing bar should not
be less than;
Maximum diameter bar
20 mm
dg + 5 where dg is the maximum aggregate
The maximum bar spacing , smax = 3h < 400 mm
generally and 2h 250mm in areas of maximum
moment where h is overall depth.
The maximum bar for secondary reinforcement; ,
smax = 3.5h < 450 mm in general and
smax = 3h < 400 in area of maximum moment
Detailing
Design of One-way Continuous Solid Slab
For continuous slab with ;
c) At least 3 spans that not differ by more than 15% of the longest span
The bending moment and shear forces may be calculated using the
coefficients given in this table below;
Bending
1. The main steel should form the outer layer of
reinforcement to give it maximum lever arm
2. The calculation for bending reinforcement follow a
similar procedure to that used in beam design
3. The lever arm, z is used to determine the area of
tension reinforcement is given by
As = M/0.87f ykz

7.Check deflection
Estimate the percentage of steel required in slab for
bending (generally will be lightly reinforced, i.e. <
0.5%)
Calculate the span/depth ratio using;
span
Design service stress, s = 310/500 x fyk x Asreq/Asprov
= 5/8 x fyk x Asreq/Asprov
= 5/8 x 500 x 349/393
= 275.3 N/mm
Modification factor = 310/ s
= 310/275.3
= 1.12
= Asreq/bd
= 349/1000 x 140
= 0.0025 < o = fck x 10-
= 0.0025 < o = 25 x 10-
Use equation (7.16a) to calculate the basic span/effective depth ratio
K = 1.3 from Table NA-5 for end span of continuous slab
= 1.5 for interior span
l/d = 54.6
= 54.6 x 1.12
= 61.2
Actual deflection = l/d
= 4500/140
= 32 < 61.2
Therefore the deflection OK. The proposed slab thickness (170mm thick) is
sufficient.
