Design Calculation for Slab

Home Design Sheets

INTRODUCTION
A slab is a structural element that is used to support ceilings and floors. It is made of concrete and reinforcements are provided to support it. It is several inches thick and it rests on beams and columns. It is estimated that a concrete slab lasts for about 30 to 100 years if it is built with good grade of concrete and steel. Usually for residential purpose M20 is used.

There are two types of slabs – one-way slab and two-way slab. Two-way slabs are supported on four sides while one-way slabs are supported on two opposite sides. Two-way slabs carry load in two directions and so reinforcements are provided in both directions. Whereas in one-way slab the reinforcement is provided in one direction as it carries load in one direction. In one way slab the ratio of longer to smaller span is greater than or equal to 2 while in two-way slab the ratio of longer to smaller span is less than 2.

Here, in this problem first a plan of the house is shown then the slab panels are depicted as per the house plan. The plan used for gravity analysis of a building is similar to slab panels also. Here primary beams are taken and secondary beams are not included in order to make the calculations short. Also, the longer to shorter span ratio is less than 2 in all panel slabs so all slabs panels are two-way slabs. The design method is followed as per Annexure D of IS 456:2000.

DESIGN OF SLAB:
Design of typical Floor Slab:
We have thickness of slab as 130 mm.
Considering M20 grade of concrete and Fe 500 steel of diameter of 10 mm
Effective Depth: (130-15-10/2) = 110 mm.

Load Calculation:
Live Load = 2 kN/m2
Self-weight of the slab = 3.25 kN/m2
Floor Finish = 1 kN/m2
Total = 6.25 kN/m2

Determination of Moments of slabs (Laterally Restrained slab):
According to IS 456:2000 Clause D-1.1, maximum bending moment per unit width in the slab is given by-
Mx = αxWlx2
My = αyWly2

Where lx and ly are the length of the shorter and longer span respectively,
αx, αyare moment coefficients,
Mx and My are moments on strips of unit width spanning lx and ly respectively,
W= total design load per unit area.

@RITHIK
Mu/bd2 Pt % HOW YOU CALCULATED

b=1000mm or 1 meter strip

=[6.94/(1000*110²)]*1000²
=0.57

Pt%
=AST/bd
=[178.20/(1000*110)]*100
=0.162%
