CSB DESIGNED CHECKED SHEET

TITLE:
DESIGN OF GRADE SLAB S.R MMG/MDS

DESIGN OF GRADE SLAB FOR CSB

The Grade Slab is designed using Portland Cement Association (PCA ) method.
BASIC DATA
Grade of Concrete = M 40
Grade of Steel = 420 mm2
Type of Sub-base below the Slab (SAND) = 400 mm
Length of the slab between ends = 7000 mm = 23.0 ft

LOADING DATA
The floor slab is subjected to both uniformly distributed load as well as concentrated
Mechanical Equipement loads.
Type of Load = Uniformly Distributed
2 2
Load on Grade Slab,W ( DL = 5.5 kN/m and LL = 7.5kN/m ) = 13.0 kN/sq.m
Type of Load = Concentrated load
Maximum Concentrated Load = 200 kN
2
Loading Area = 900 cm

DESIGN OF GRADE SLAB

Modulus of Subgrade Reaction on top of Subgrade, k = 5.54 kg/cm3
(For sand filling below grade slab refer page 2, Reference 1) = 200.0 pci
2
Compressive Strength of Concrete,f c = 40 N/mm
= 5800 psi
Flexural Strength of Concrete (Modulus of Rupture), MR = 9 * √ fc
(Ref page 2, Reference 1) = 685.4 psi at 28 days

As per reference 1, table 4 (page 13)

Assuming 200 thick grade slab,(8 inch)

Allowable uniform distributed load on floor = 1603.0 psf
2
= 76.7 kN/m
2
Applied udl on grade slab = 13.0 kN/m
Hence Provide 200 mm thick grade slab

CSB DESIGNED CHECKED SHEET

TITLE:
DESIGN OF GRADE SLAB S.R MMG/MDS OF

Design of Grade slab-PCA method (PIN LOAD)

Basic data
Grade of Concrete = M 40
Type of Soil below the Slab = Sandy

Loading Data
The floor slab is subjected to both uniformly distributed load as well as concentrated wheel loads
from trucks.

Type of Load = Point load(concentrated)

Maximum Point Load = 200 kN
Loading Area = 900 cm2

Pin Load

Concentrated Load = 200.0 kN = 45.0 kips

Slab Depth t = 200 mm = 7.9 in
2
Compressive Strength of Concrete f c = 40.0 N/mm = 5800 psi
Modulus of Rupture MR = 9 * √ fc = 685.4 psi

(I)Check as Post Load (Pg. 12 example problem, Ref. 1)

Contact Area = 900 cm2 = 140 in2

Load Periphery = Perimeter of contact area = 120 cm

2
(For 900 cm loading area minimum perimeter is 120 cm) = 47 in
Check for Bearing stress
Allowable Bearing Stress: LOAD DISTRIBUTION
For interior load = 4.2 MR = 2879 psi
For edge or corner load = 2.1 MR = 1439 psi

Actual bearing stress = Load / Area = 322.3 psi

Actual bearing stress = L< Allowable Bearing Stress Hence Safe

Check for Shear Stress

Allowable Shear Stress = 0.27 MR = 185.1 psi

Actual Shear Stress for Interior Load

Post Load = 72.522 psi < 185.1
=
Slab Depth [load periphery + 4(slab depth)] SAFE

Actual Shear Stress for Edge Load

Post Load = 111.57 psi < 185.1
=
Slab Depth [0.75(load periphery) + 2(slab depth)] SAFE

Actual Shear Stress for Corner Load

Post Load = 181.31 psi < 185.1
=
Slab Depth [0.5(load periphery) + (slab depth)] SAFE

200 mm thick Grade Slab shall be provided.

Minimum reinforcement for shrinkage shall be provided.

Provide T- 10 at 150 c/c in both directions '(0.262%)
