 5)

6) Using the dimensioned layout of yield lines, analyze and design a 250 mm thick reinforced
concrete slab spanning 9.0 x 7.5 m. The slab occupies a corner bay of a floor, which has columns
at each corner connected by stiff beams in each direction. The slab can be regarded as being
continuous over two adjacent sides and simply supported on the other two. Assume isotropic
reinforcement with equal ‘m’ in each direction. Allow for a total ultimate load of 20kN/m2
Concrete is C40, cover 20 mm T&B.

Determine the effect of an additional ultimate line load of 20 kN/m located at the middle of the shorter
span

Ans. M=MI=38.14KNm/m
 7) A simply supported square slab, a x a, loaded by a uniformly distributed load of q/m2. Estimate
the load carrying capacity of the slab, if it is reinforced with an isotropic reinforcement system.
