LOADINGS Unfactored(kN/m²) Factored(kN/m²)

Self weight of decking 0.09 0.14
Self weight of concrete slab (wet) 2.13 3.20
Construction load 3.10 4.66
Total factored load (maximum) = 0.14 + 3.20 + 0.00 + 4.66
= 8.00 kN/m²
NOTE: Critical span is longer span
EFFECTIVE SPAN OF DECK :
Effective span Le, is the smaller of
1) c/c of supports = 1.45 m
2) clear span + deck depth = 1.30 + 46.0 / 1000
= 1.35 m
Therefore Le = 1.35 m
SHEAR RESISTANCE CHECK :
*** Check at exterior support
Applied shear = [0.500 * 0.14 + 0.500 * 3.20 + 0.500 * 0.04 + 1.500 * 4.66/3] * 1.35
= 5.41 kN/m
Shear strength of decking, pv = 168.0 N/mm²
Shear resistance, Pv = 59.1 kN/m
UNITY FACTOR = 0.09 PASS
WEB CRUSHING RESISTANCE CHECK :
*** Check at exterior support
Applied reaction 5.41 kN/m
Web crushing resistance, Pw 38.03 kN/m
UNITY FACTOR = 0.14 PASS
BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK :
SAGGING:
Max applied moment = [0.125 * 0.14 + 0.125 * 3.20 + 0.125 * 0.04 + 0.125 * 4.66] * 1.35^2
= 1.82 kNm/m
Moment resistance, Mc = 5.17 kNm/m
UNITY FACTOR = 0.35 PASS
DEFLECTION CHECK :
Allowable deflection ðmax, is the lesser of
1) Effective span/180 (= 7.5 mm ), and
2) 20 mm ( absolute maximum value ), and
3) Slab depth/10 = ( 11.0 mm )
Max. self weight deflection = 5 / 384 * 2.23 * (1.35* 1000 )^4 / (*390249 )/1000
= 1.20 mm
( < 7.48 mm ) SATISFACTORY
***NOTE: Deflection within code limits; ponding is not considered

NORMAL STAGE

LOADINGS : (see construction load calculations for details):

Unfactored (kN/m²) Factored (kN/m²)
Dead 0.09 + 2.09
= 2.18 3.28
Imposed 5.00 + 1.00
= 6.00 9.00
Superimposed dead 0.50 + 0.50 + 0.20
= 1.20 1.79
Total = 9.38 kN/m² 14.07 kN/m²
EFFECTIVE SPAN :
Effective span Le, is the smaller of
1) c/c of supports
2) clear span + slab overall depth - depth to centroid = 1.3 + 110 / 1000 - 20.42 / 1000
= 1.39 m
Therefore Le = 1.39 m
SHEAR RESISTANCE CHECK :
Maximum applied shear = 0.5 * 14.07 * 1.39
= 9.78 kN/m
Shear stress in concrete, v = 0.19 N/mm²
Shear strength of concrete, vc = 0.99 N/mm²
Shear resistance = 131.50 * 89.58 * 0.99 / 225.00
= 52.08 kN/m
UNITY FACTOR = 0.19 PASS
PUNCHING SHEAR CHECK :
Not Applicable
SHEAR BOND RESISTANCE CHECK :
Shear span = 1.39 / 4
= 0.35 m
Applied shear = 7.65 kN/m
Shear bond resistance = 21.93 kN/m
Anchorage resistance = 0 kN/m
Total shear resistance = (21930.1/1000) + [(0/1000)]/2 = 21.93 kN/m
UNITY FACTOR = 0.35 PASS
BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK :
Applied bending moment = 0.125 * 14.07 * 1.39^2
= 3.40 kNm/m
Depth of concrete stress block = 26.32 mm
NOTE: depth of concrete in compression may be limited to 0.45 ds
Tension in decking = 296.07 kN/m
Tension in bar reinforcement = 0.00 kN/m
Depth to position of resultant tension = (0.0 * 80.0 + 296.1 * 89.6) / (0.0 + 296.1)
= 89.58 mm
Lever arm = 76.42 mm
NOTE: lever arm may be limited to 0.95 ds
Compression in concrete
= 296.07 kN/m
Moment resistance = 296.07 * 76.42/1000
= 22.63 kNm/m
UNITY FACTOR = 0.15 PASS
DEFLECTION CHECK :
Allowable deflection ðmax-i under imposed loads, is the lesser of
1) Effective span/350 (= 4.0 mm ), and
2) Absolute maximum value (mm) = 20
Imposed load deflection = 0.013 * 6.50 * (1.39* 1000 )^4 / (205*7710705 )/1000
= 0.2 mm ( < 4.0 mm ) SATISFACTORY
Allowable total deflection ðmax-t, is the lesser of

1) Effective span/250 or 5.6 mm, and

2) 30 mm ( SCI recommended absolute maximum value )
Deflection due to imposed loads = 0.2 mm (based on average inertia)
Additional deflection due to superimposed dead loads = 0.0 mm (based on average inertia)
Total deflection = 0.2 + 0.0

Dynamic inertia (cracked section) = 592 cm4
Maximum deflection = 0.013 * 3.98 * (1.39* 1000 )^4 / (205*5917668 )/1000
