1. Whenever the slab thickness is 150mm, the bar diameter shall be 10mm
for normal spacing.(It can be 8mm at very closely spaced).
2. Slab thickness can be 10mm,110mm,120mm,125mm,150mm, etc.
3. The maximum spacing of Main bar shall not exceed 200mm(8) and the
distribution bars @ 250mm(10).
H e is the effective height of the wall and t is the thickness of the RC wall.
H e for a braced wall will be :
4.ARCH:
Let us now invert the shape of a cable under a given load, that is the sag
at any point is turned into a rise. The point is now above the chord joining
the end points by the
same amount it was previously below it. A structure built according to the
funicular shape in COMPRESSION is termed as an ARCH.
The optional rise to span ratio for an arch is in the range of 1/6-1/4. The
depth to span ratio of an arch is usually in the range of 1/40 -1/70.
5. FOLDED PLATE:
The typical depth /span ratio is in the range from 1/15 to 1/10.
6. FLATE PLATE:
A typical depth of a solid FLAT PLATE is 1/22 -1/18 of the effective span.
7. TWO-WAY RIBBED SLAB:
Supported on continuous stiff supports are in the range of 1/30-1/25 of
the lesser effective span.
8. FLAT PLATE RIBBED SLAB:
Typical depth of flat plate ribbed slabs are in the range of 1/20-1/17 of
the lesser effective span.
9. DOMES:
The structural depth of DOMES is the full height of the dome from base to
crown. Depth to span ratio range from as low as 1/8 for shallow domes to
for deep domes.
A depth /span ratio of 1/5-1/4 is a common value which is near optimal
for many applications.
