Structural Slab Design Guide

The document provides specifications for designing a continuous one-way slab that is 24m x 9m with beams spaced at 4m centers. It specifies a grade C25 concrete and grade 500 reinforcement. The slab is designed to have a minimum thickness of 150mm to meet fire resistance requirements and control deflection. It is analyzed as a one-way slab with characteristic loads of 1.0 kN/m2 permanent and 3.5 kN/m2 variable. Reinforcement sizes are designed at various locations to resist the bending moments and shear forces calculated using tables from BS8110:1997. The design meets requirements for durability, fire resistance, cracking control and deflection limits.

Continuous One Way Slab

Design a continuous slab for a hall of internal dimension 24m x 9m. The slab is supported on
beams of size 200mm x 450mm spaced at 4.0m centers as shown in the figure below. The
variable action on slab may be taken as 3.5kN/m2 and the permanent action consist of floor
finish and services of 1.0kN/m2. The materials to be used are grade C25 concrete and grade
500 reinforcement. The slab is inside buildings subjected to 1.5 hours fire resistance and 50
years design life.
