Design a interior slab to cover a room with internal dimensions of 4.0m x 5.

0 m and 230 mm
thick brick wall all around. Assume a live load of 3kN/m^2 and a finish load of 1 kN/m^2. Use
M20 concrete and Fe 415 steel. Assume mild exposure condition.

1. Data:
fck ≔ 20 MPa

fy ≔ 415 MPa

Here shorter span is 4 m

Over all depth up-to 3.5 m span is

4m
D ≔ ――― = 125 mm
40 ⋅ 0.8
Let us assume the over all depth for 4m
span is (20% more)
D ≔ 1.2 ⋅ ((125 mm)) = 150 mm

Provide
D ≔ 150 mm

Assuming 10 mm bar and 20 mm clear cover

The effective depth considering shorter edge

dx ≔ D - 20 mm - 5 mm = 125 mm

The effective depth considering longer edge

dy ≔ D - 20 mm - 10 mm - 5 mm = 115 mm
 Hence Effective spans are

lx ≔ 4000 mm + dx = 4.125 m or lx ≔ 4000 mm + 230 mm = 4.23 m

Take less of the above values

lx ≔ 4.145 m

ly ≔ 5000 mm + dy = 5.115 m or ly ≔ 5000 mm + 230 mm = 5.23 m

Take less of the above values

ly ≔ 5.135 m

ly
r ≔ ―= 1.239
lx As the ratio between longer edge to shorter edge is less
than 2, hence it is a two way slab.

αx value calculation:

Negative moment at the continuous edge:

r2 ≔ 1.3 αx2 ≔ 0.047
 Interpolating

Similarly positive moment at mid span

αy value calculation:

Negative moment at the continuous edge:

αy_end ≔ 0.032

αy_mid ≔ 0.024

Moment calculation:

a) Moment per unit meter at the mid sections in x and y direction are

Mx_mid ≔ αx_mid ⋅ w ⋅ lx 2 ⋅ 1 m = 6.702 m ⋅ kN

My_mid ≔ αy_mid ⋅ w ⋅ lx 2 ⋅ 1 m = 4.794 m ⋅ kN

b) Moment per unit meter at the end sections in x and y direction are

Mx_end ≔ αx_end ⋅ w ⋅ lx 2 ⋅ 1 m = 8.899 m ⋅ kN

My_end ≔ αy_end ⋅ w ⋅ lx 2 ⋅ 1 m = 6.391 m ⋅ kN

It is clear form the graph that for 93.432 MPa

value the multiplying factor will be very high.
So it can de concluded that deflection will not
occur at the slab.
