Effective Span
The effective span of a simply supported slab
shall be taken as the lesser of the following:
Thickness of Slab
The following table gives the maximum values of the ratio of span to depth.
2. 45 cm.
Distribution bars are running at right angles to the main reinforcement and
the pitch shall not exceed
2. 45 cm.
Cover of Reinforcement:
The minimum cover to outside of main bars shall not be less than the
following:
1. 15 mm and
2. Assume the thickness of slab (take 4 cm per metre run of the span).
3. Find the effective span which is lesser of (i) distance between centres
of bearings, and (ii) clear span and effective depth.
4. Find the dead load and the live load per square meter of the slab.
5. Determine the maximum bending moment for a one meter wide strip
of the slab.
Spacing of bar =
CONTINUOUS SLAB
Suppose a slab is supported at the ends and also at intermediate points on
beams, the maximum sagging and hogging moments to which the slab is
subjected to due to uniformly distributed load, can be computed as follows:
Bending moment due to dead load and live load may be taken as follows
