Cover 20mm
Cover depends upon location
If the client MAY want to lease it for something other than general office
use at any time, this may limit his options.
Strictly speaking this is the ‘effective depth’ of the slab, giving an overall
depth:
h = d + cover + φ/2 = 300 + 20 + 12/2 = 326mm

Modification Factors
If the slab span is greater than 7m, modify the L/d ratio by the factor K2
= 7/L.
In this case K2 = 1

Since this is GREATER than the applied shear stress the slab passes
(because the resistance is the GREATER of the 2 resistance equations)
