Two-Way Slab Design Calculations

1. This document provides the design details of a two-way reinforced concrete slab with short span length of 3.2m and long span length of 3.81m. 2. The minimum effective depth is calculated as 100mm and total depth as 125mm based on span-depth ratio requirements. 3. Bending moments and shear forces are calculated based on the load details. Checking confirms the depths are adequate for the bending and shear requirements. 4. Reinforcement requirements are calculated at supports and mid-spans for short and long spans. Distribution reinforcement of 8mm dia bars at 150mm c/c is also specified.

Design of Two-way Slab

1. Design Data
fck = 20 N/mm2
fy = 500 N/mm2
Dimensions of the slab (c/c distance betn supports),
Length of short span, lx = 3.2 m
Length of long span, ly = 3.81 m
Width of the supporting beam, = 230 mm
Clear cover to main reinforcement = 20 mm
Assume dia. of reinforcement steel = 10 mm
Edge condition – “Two adjacent edges discontinuous”

2. Selection of preliminary depth of slab


The span to depth ratio with Fe 5 0 0 is taken from cl. 24.1, Note 2 of IS 456 as
0.8( 40) = 32. This gives the minimum effective depth d = 3200/32 = 100 mm. The
total depth D is thus 125 mm.

3. Design loads, bending moments and shear forces


2
Dead load of slab (1 m width) = 0.125(25) = 3.125 kN/m
2
Dead load of floor finish (given) = 1.2 kN/m
2
Factored dead load = 1.5(4.325) = 6.49 kN/m
2
Factored live load (given) = 6.0 kN/m
2
Total factored load = 12.49 kN/m
The coefficients of bending moments and the bending moments Mx and My per unit
width (positive and negative) are determined as per cl. D-1.1 and Table 26 of IS 456 for
the case 4, “Two adjacent edges discontinuous” and presented in Table 1. The ly / lx for this
problem is 3.81/3.2 = 1.2.

Table 1 Maximum bending moments


For Short span Long span
x Mx (kNm/m) y My (kNm/m)
Negative moment at 0.060 7.67 0.047 6.01
continuous edge
Positive moment at 0.045 5.76 0.035 4.48
mid-span

Maximum shear force in either direction is :

Vu = w(lx/2) = 12.49 (3.2/2) = 19.982 kN/m


4. Determination/checking of the effective depth and total depth of slab
Using the higher value of the maximum bending moments in x and y directions from
Table 1, we get:
2
Mu,lim = R,lim bd
6 3 1/2
or d = [(7.67)(10 )/{2.66(10 )}] = 5 3 . 7 mm,
2 2 2
where 2.66 N/mm is the value of R,lim for f y = 500 N/mm and f ck = 20 N/mm .
Since, this effective depth is less than 100 mm assumed in Step 2, we retain d =
100 mm and D = 125 mm.

5. Depth of slab for shear force


2
Table 19 of IS 456 gives the values of c = 0.28 N/mm when the lowest percentage of steel
is provided in the slab. However, this value needs to be modified by multiplying with k of cl.
40.2.1.1 of IS 456. The value of k for the total depth of slab as 125mm is 1.3. so the value of
2
c is 1.3(0.28) = 0.364 N/mm .
2
Table 20 of IS 456 gives c, max = 2.8 N/mm . The computed shear stress v = Vu/bd =
19.982/100 = 0.199N/mm.
Since v < c < c, max , the effective depth of the slab as 100mm and the total depth as
125mm are safe.
