DESIGN OF FLOOR SLAB

Design Data
Dimensions of the slab (c/c distance b/w supports),
Length of short span,Lcx = 3.28 m
Length of long span,Lcy = 4.14 m
Width of the supporting beam,ts = 230 mm
Clear cover to main reinforcement = 15 mm
Assume dia. of reinforcement steel = 8 mm
f ck 2
= 20 N/mm
2
fy = 500 N/mm

Calculations
Assume the thickness of slab as = 125 mm
Effective depth, d = 106 mm
Effective span calcuation for continuous slab, take Leff lesser from a) and b) =
a) if width of support ts< Lc/12, Lcx/12 = 273.3 mm =
Lx, Leff = Lcx + d = 3.39 m =
Leff = Lcx = 3.28 m =
Here, ts<Lcx/12 =
Take Lx, Leff = = 3.28 =
=
Here, ts<Lcy/12 Lcy/12 = = 345.2 mm =
Ly, Leff = Lcy +d = 4.248 m =
Ly,Leff = Lcy = 4.14 m =
Take Ly,Leff = 4.142 =
=
(ly / lx ) = 1.26 <2 =
Here, (ly / lx ) is less than 2, Hence design the slab as two way slab =
=
Load Calculations =
Dead Load of slab = 0.125 x 25 = 3.13 KN/m2

Finishes load on slab = 1.50 KN/m

Live Load on slab = 3.0 KN/m
Factored Design Load w = 11.45 KN/m2

Support Condition (Type of panel according to support condition)

Two Adjacent Edges Discontinuous
Short span coefficient for (ly / lx ) = = 1.26
For negative moment, ax = 0.0555 look into sheet BM
For positive moment, ax = 0.0425 look into sheet BM
Long span coefficient,
For negative moment, ay = 0.047 look into sheet BM
For positive moment, ay = 0.035 look into sheet BM

Moment Calculation
Max. BM per unit width, Mx = ax w l x 2 & My = ay w l x 2

Check for effective depth against maximun B.M

B.M = 0.138σckbdeff²
deff = 49.75 mm
Adopt effective depth of 106mm and overall depth of 125 mm

Reinforcement details

supports for short span (Ast provided = 335 mm2 )

supports for long span (Ast provided = 335 mm2 )

Take minimum from i) and ii) Take minimum from i) and ii)

Check for Deflection

Percentage of tension reinforcement = 0.32 %

fs = 0.58 f y (Ast req / Ast pro) = 102.113 N/mm2

Refer Fig. 4 of IS 456,

α = 26 for continuous span

β = 1 a factor which accounts for correction in the values of α for spans greater than 10m
since span is less than 10 m, β = 1
ϒ = 2 from fig 4, fs vs percentage of tension reinforcement

a factor which depends on the area of compression reinforcement as in fig 6

δ = 1
since compressive reinforcement is zero

Allowable (Span / deff ) ratio α *β *ϒ *δ = 52

Actual (Span / deff ) ratio = Lx/deff = 30.9
Since, Actual (Span / deff ) ratio < Allowable (Span / deff ) ratio The Slab is safe in deflection

Check for shear force at short egdes

Maximum S.F, V = wLx/2 = 18.7641 Kn/m
Nominal shear stress Ϛv = V/bdeff = 0.17702 N/mm2
Percent tension steel 100As/bdeff = 0.2681 %
Shear strength of M20 concrete for 0.268% steel, Ϛc = 0.37 N/mm 2

Adopt K = 1.3 For overall depth < 150 mm from table 40.2.1.1
Shear strength of slab, Ϛc' = kϚc = 0.4792 N/mm2
Here, Ϛc' > Ϛv Slab is safe in shear
