4.1 MATERIAL
Cement, sand, course aggregate and steel of good quality is
required for casting the test slab specimen. Material has been
used after testing in the laboratory. Details of the material used
are given below:
4.1.1 Cement
Fresh ACC cement (Portland Pozzolana fly ash based
confirming to IS: 1489) has been used for casting cubes and
slab specimen.
4.1.2 Fine Aggregate
The crusher sand used for casting of test specimen was clean,
course and free from organic matter. The sand was washed to
remove any dust.
4.1.3 Coarse Aggregate
The crushed and graded hard stone Coarse aggregate used in
the project was clean and free from organic matter.
4.1.4 Steel
High yield strength deformed bars grade, Fe-500 of 6 mm
diameter has been used in casting of Skew slabs.
4.1.5 Water
Potable tap water as per IS: 456 (2000) has been used for
concrete mixing and curing of test Specimens.
4.2 SLAB SPECIMENS
In order to validate the analytical results of proposed
approach, three test slabs have been casted with skew angle of
30, and with aspect ratio of 0.625 to keep the short diagonal
of skew slabs greater than the span. M 25 concrete have been
used for casting of test slab along with reinforcement 6 mm
diameter bars @160 mm c/c and distribution steel of 6 mm
diameter bars @335 mm c/c laid over main reinforcement at
parallel to the supports and compression reinforcement of
6mm diameter bar @188mm c/c also provided with
distribution reinforcement of 6mm diameter bars @335 mm
c/c laid over main reinforcement at parallel to the supports.
Thicknesses of slabs have been kept 100 mm with clear cover
20 mm.

CONCLUSIONS
Uniformly distributed loading show the linear
behavior.
Four point loading with eccentricity of +300 or 300 shows the nonlinear load displacement curve
after first crack is observed
The main observations and conclusions drawn are
summarized below:
