1 GENERAL
1.1

Scope
This document outlines the deflections evaluation for the loading test in First floor Slab of
Wing-1A and Second floor Slab of Wing-1B, in which some cracks have been repaired.
The floor slab has been analyzed in the computer software SAFE.
The maximum deflection estimated by the Model has to be compared with the actual
deflection at the site. At the site it is necessary that the load conditions are caused by the
application and positioning of concrete cubes (or other type of loads) in order to reach the
loading level for each slab, generating the maximum deflection.

2 SIGN UNITS
Unless specified otherwise, the international (SI) system of metric units shall be used; for
the deflections it has been used the mm.

4.1

Slab Geometry and considerations on Loads

The slab loading test is realized to verify that the deflections in the repaired slab are less
or almost the same of the theoretical deflections that the slab would have without any
crack.

Figure 1 - W1A First Floor: cracks position.

The critical deflections can depend not only on the cracks position but also on the
maximum span and on the usage of rooms. Where the slab is dedicated to store/filing
room or Mechanical/ Electrical room the live load is more than the load considered in
offices.
For this reason to evaluate the more significant displacements, it has been considered the
slab loaded where there are cracks (between grid lines 23-24), where the span is
maximum (between grid lines 18-19) and along the strip between 21-22 (Mechanical/store
rooms with significant cracks).

Load Assignments at the Site

To simulate the real loading condition and obtain the maximum deflection, it is enough to
load the slab between the grid lines:
-

18-19: Total load to be applied (uniformly distributed on the slab strip)

3.3+2.5 = 5.8 kN/m = 591 kg/m (between E-H)

Theoretical Deflections
With the loads configuration described by the previous chapter, we obtained the
deflection values shown by the following tables. These values has to be compared with the
real displacements obtained at the site.
The check points are in the middle of the slab spans and they are the points in which the
deflection can be significant, being the slab simply supported.

Slab Geometry and considerations on Loads

In this case, being the slab divided into equal spans (squre 6.0m by 6.0m or 6.0m by 4.0m),
the critical deflections depend only on the usage of rooms and on the position of the
cracks.

Figure 8 - W1B Second Floor: cracks position.

For this reason to evaluate the more significant displacements, it has been considered the
slab loaded along the strip 11-12, 13-14 and 16-17 (Mechanical/store rooms).
