Limits for dimensions,
displacements, and crack
widths
Introduction
0 wall-beams 0 beams
1 15 cm 2 12cm
0 Exceptions
In exceptional cases, these
3 values can be reduced to
10cm.
THIS IS A CROSS SECTION OF A BEAM!
Columns and wall-columns
30 kN
prestressed slabs
supported on beams,
cantilever slabs with a minimum of l/42
10 cm 15 cm
for simply supported
floor slabs and l/50 for
continuous floor slabs
SOLID SLABS:
The following minimum thickness limits must be respected in solid slabs:
16 cm for flat slabs and 14 cm for mushroom slabs, outside of drop panels.
"In the design of cantilever slabs, the calculated soliciting forces to be
considered must be multiplied by an additional coefficient gn, according to
the indicated values in chart 13.2."
Holes and Openings
When holes and openings are planned in structural elements, their effect on
resistance and deformation must be verified, and the limits prescribed in this
Standard must not be exceeded, subject to the provisions of 21.3.
b) Specific effects: the displacements may prevent the proper use of the construction;
d) Effects on structural elements: the deformations may affect the behavior of the structural
element, causing deviation from the adopted calculation hypotheses. If the deformations are
relevant to the element considered, their effects on stresses or on the stability of the structure must
be considered, incorporating them into the adopted structural model.
