Design the reinforced concrete floor slab for a room of internal dimensions of 4

Assume the slab to be on 230mm thick masonry wall. The slab is to support live
4KN/m2 and surface finish is 1KN/m2 . Use M20 grade concrete, HYSD steel of F

Given data
Width of support bs 230 mm
Length in y direction ly 9500 mm
Length in x direction lx 4000 mm
Live load LL 0.004 N/mm2
Floor finish FF 0.001 N/mm2
Characteristic strength of concrete fck 20 N/mm2

Cover 20 mm
Maximum steel diameter 10 mm

Density of concrete r 0.000025 N/mm3

Factor of safety FOS 1.5

Depth of slab from serviceability criteria

lx/d 20
effective depth d 200 mm
overall depth D 225 mm

Effective length in x direction

lex is smaller of
lx + bs 4230 mm
lx + d 4200 mm
lex 4200 mm

Effective length in y direction

ley is smaller of
ly + bs 9730 mm
ly + d 9700 mm
ley 9700 mm

Type of slab
Aspect ratio ley/lex 2.3095238
Design the slab as a one way slab

Design loads
Assume width of slab b 1000 mm
Dead load DL 5.625 N/mm
Floor finish FF 1 N/mm
Live load LL 4 N/mm
Total load TL W 10.625 N/mm
Factored load FL Wu 15.9375 N/mm

Factored design moment Mu 35142188 N-mm

Check for effective depth

d 112.839163 mm
Provide calculated depth
Adopt effective depth d 120 mm
Overall depth D 145 mm

Calculation of area of steel

Main reinforcement
Ast 975.73901 mm2

Assume diameter bars ϕ 10 mm

Spacing (S) is smaller of

S 80.5250461 mm
S 360 mm
S 300 mm
Adopt spacing (S) 80 mm
Therefore provide 10mm diameter bars at 80mm center to center

Distribution reinforcement
Ast 174 mm2

Assume diameter bars ϕ 8 mm

Spacing (S) is smaller of

S 288.998358 mm
S 600 mm
S 450 mm
Adopt spacing (S) 280 mm
Therefore provide 8mm diameter bars as distribution reinforcement at 280 mm center to center
Check for shear
Ultimate shear Vu 31875 N
Nominal shear stress zv 0.265625 N/mm2

Ast Provided 491.071429 mm2

Percentage of steel provided 0.40922619

From table 19 page 73 IS 456:2000

Shear strength of concrete zc 0.43 N/mm2
Designed slab is safe in shear

Check for development length

M1 19469508 N-m

Lo is larger of
Lo 120 mm
Lo 120 mm
Lo 120 mm

Ld1 914.050504
Ld 437.695313
Safe

Check for cracking

Area of steel is more than 0.12% of gross crossectional area
Spacing of steel is less than 3d
Diameter of bar used less than (160/8)
Hence the designed slab is safe under cracking
