Stress due to Load

Assume 22.5cm thick CC Slab.

h = 22.5 cm
Edge Stresses :
0.572 P [ Log10(l/b) + 0.359 ]
sle = h2

where Radius of Relative stiffness,l = [ E h3 / 12(1-m2) k ]1/4 cm

= [ 3 x 105 x 22.53 / 12(1-0.152) 3.46 ]1/4 cm

= 95.79 cm. 108.787

Radius of equivalent distribution of pressure,b = [ 1.6 a2 + h2 ]1/2 – 0.675h cm

Therefore Load Stress in the Edge Region

,i.e., sle = 0.572 x 5100 [ Log10(95.79/14.24) + 0.359 ]

22.502

= 21.15 kg/sq.cm 22.4232

Warping Stress due to Temperature :

Width of Pavement Slab = 3.50 m

Length of = 4.00 m
Cx , Coefficient based on the value of Lx/L from Bradbury’s chart
Lx/L = 400/95.79 = 4.18
From Bradbury’s Chart ( IRC : 58-1988 – Fig.3) , Cx = 0.49

Warping Stress at Edge = Cx E a DT / 2

= 0.49 x 3 x 105 x 10 x 10-6 x 19.20 / 2
= 14.11 kg/sq.cm

Factor of Safety :
Residual Strength of Concrete = Flexural Strength – Warping Stress

= 40.00 -14.11 = 25.89 kg/sq.cm

Factor of Safety = Residual Stress / Load Stress

= 25.89/21.15
 = 1.22 > 1.00 , 1.151204
Hence Safe.

Hence Provide 225 mm Thick Slab.
