Design a one way slab with a clear span of 4 m, simply supported on 230 mm thick masonry

walls and subjected to a live load of 4kN/sqm and surface finish of 1kN/sqm. Assume Fe 415
steel. Assume that the slab is subjected to moderate exposure conditions.

Assuming effective cover of (30+10) mm over all depth
