Min. Reinf. (cl. 8.1.1) : Fe 415 Grade steel

1. Surface Reinf. In Walls & suspended Slab
0.35% of the surface zone in each direction
Surface zone = D ( for D < 200) : As = 3.5xD mm2/m, in each direction on one face
= 200 < D < 500 : 1.75xD mm2/m, in each direction at each face.
= 250 Each Face (For D > 500), 438mm2/m each direction, each face
If any dimension is < 15m, the min. reinf. is reduced to 0.24 %

2. Surface Reinf. for slab on ground :

0.35% of the surface zone in each direction
Surface zone = D/2 ( for D < 300) : As = 1.75xD mm2/m, in each direction on upper face
= Upper D/2, Lower 100 for 300 < D < 500 :
:Upper face 1.75xD mm2/m, on each direction
Lower face 350 mm2/m in each direction
= Upper 250, Lower 100 for D > 500:
Upper face 875 mm2/m, on each direction
Lower face 350 mm2/m in each direction on each face.

Slab on Ground : D <200 provide as %c x 1000 mm2/m, (100mm basis)

200<D<500, provide (%c x D/2 basis) i.e. %c x D/2*10 mm2/m,
D>500 top based on 250mm (%c x 25 mm2/m)
Bottom based on 100mm (%c x 10 mm2/m), (D, mm unit)
FOR IMMATURE CONCRETE:

Smax = (36363)/(T1+T2) for max. crack width 0.2mm, = 0.000011
Take T1 = 30 for summer, 20 for winter (add 10 for thick member with D>500)
Provide contraction joints at 15m and T2=0.
