PART 1 :

CALCULATIONS OF LOADINGS AND DETERMINATION OF

ALLOWABLE IMPOSED LOADINGS

Taking Critical Case of Main Building

(1) Second Storey Slab Checking (** Worst Case)

ly/lx = 2.2,

One way slab (With Imposed loads of 4 KN/m2 )

Slab thickness = 150mm

d = 150-2(20)-2(10) = 90mm
Self Weight = 24 x 0.15 x 1m strip width = 3.6 kN/m
Service Dead Load = 0.75 kPa (assumed) x 1m strip width = 0.75 kN/m
Live Load = 4 KN/m2 (assumed) x 1m strip width = 4 kN/m
Wult = SW + SDL + LL = 8.35 kN/m
Mmax = WultL2/8 = 8.3 x 22 / 8 = 4.15 kNm
Assumed fcu = 20 N/mm2 (Concrete Characteristic Strength) Mild Steel of 250N/mm2
k = Mmax / fcubd2 = 4.15 x 106 / 20 x 1000 x 902 = 0.0256 < 0.156
Z = 90 { 0.5 + [0.25 (0.0256/0.9)]1/2 } = 87.4mm > 0.95d = 85.5mm
As(required) = 4.15 x 106 / 0.87 x 250 x 85.5 = 223 mm2
as scanned at the site
As(provided) = R12-225mm
= 5R12 = 565 mm2 > As(required) = 223 mm2 Ok, assumption correct

Acting Soil Pressure = 989.64 / (2.0 x 4.0) = 123.71 KN//m2

Refer to Section 5.6 of the report, the tested foundation allowable bearing soil
pressure is 140.00 KN//m2 > 123.71 KN//m2 which is O.K.!
