• Typical design procedure of slabs or beams
 Choose material properties of concrete and reinforced steel

 Estimate dimension of the cross-section of slab or beams

 Determine the calculation diagram, effective span lengths

 Determine ULS loads (1.35Gk , 1.5Qk) ; SLS loads (Gk , y2Qk)

 Calculate design forces (M, V) using analysis method with

various loading combination and sketch the force envelopes

 Design section for moment and shear: MEd  As ; VEd  Asw , sw

 Check deflection and cracking width: dmax  L/250 ; wk  0,3mm

 For slabs, ULS combination is usually used: 1.35Gk + 1.5Qk

Chapter 1: Overview page I_13

 1.3 Review: Loads and actions
• Serviceable limit state (SLS)

i.e. gG = gQ = 1

Characteristic combination: For slabs, SLS combinations are usually used:

 Gk + Qk

Frequent combination:
 Gk + 0.5Qk

Quasi-permanent combination:
 Gk + 0.3Qk
