STEP 1 Check for Limitation Of DDM

1 Minimum of Three continuous spans in each [OK]

direction
13.6.1.1
2 Rectangular panels with c/c long to short ratio [OK]
less then 2 1.35
13.6.1.2
3 Successive span length c/c of support in each [OK]
direction shall not differ by more than on
third of longer span
13.6.1.3
4 Maximum column offset 10% of span [OK]
between center line of successive columns
13.6.1.4
5 unfactored live to dead load ratio less than [OK]
two 0.67
13.6.1.5
6 beams in two perpendicular direction for [OK]
panels will beams all around must satisfy
13.6.1.6
13.6.1.6
7 Moment redistribution shall not be applicable [OK]
13.6.1.7

STEP 2 Selection of Slab Depth

Length of clear span Long direction Ln 5955 mm

Length of clear span Short direction Ln 4400 mm
Assuming the Value of αfm to be greater than 2.0
ratio of clear span long / short β 1.353
hmin 124 mm 9.5.3.3
Say h 180 mm
