Design of Composite Slab at Fire Limit State

BS EN fire resistance of 90 minutes. The steel decking is assumed to be ineffective in fire

This exceeds the applied moment of 19.87 kNm/m and shows that a single T12 bad
per rib is able to provide 90 minutes fire resistance for a 180mm deep slab.

Mesh Reinforcement
The mesh reinforcement is taken as A252 generally, which corresponds to 0.25%
reinforcement. Because the composite slab is designed as simply supported, it is not
necessary to provide reinforcement for crack control. However, if the slab had been
continuous over a beam, it would have been necessary to use 2 layers of A252 mesh
to satisfy the 0.4% reinforcement requirement.
