DESIGN CRITERIA
fy = 275 MPa
fc = 21 MPa
Wc = 23.54 kN/m3
LL = 1.9 kN/m3 (classroom)
qa = 56 kPa
h=150mm (Assumed)
COMPUATION OF LOADS: (Consider 1m strip of slab)
WDL = 23.54 kN/m3 (0.15m)(1m) = 3.531 kN/m
WLL = 1.9 kN/m3 (1m) = 1.90 kN/m
WU = 1.2WDL+1.6WLL
= 1.2(3.531 kN/m)+ 1.6(1.90 kN/m) = 7.277 kN/m

The result show that the soil bearing capacity is large enough to counteract the applied
loads (dead load and live load)
