Q.

Design a rectangular slab of size 4*6 meter which is simply

supported along edges and has to caary a service live load 4 kn/m2
assume co-efficent of orthrophy µ=0.75 . Use M-20 grade of Concrete
and Fe 415 Steel . The Design may be Restricted for Bending Only.
1. DESIGN DATA
Longer span of the critical slab ly 6 MM
Shorter span of the critical slab lx 4 MM
Grade of steel fy 415 N/MM2
Grade of concrete fck 20 N/MM2
Live load 4 KN/M2
Floor finish load F.F 1 KN/M2
lyαL
α 0.666667
µ 0.75 Mu longer/Mu shorter

2. Depth of slab
Over all depth of slab (D) 142.8571 MM
150
Asumme clear cover as 20 to 30 MM
Effective depth (d) 130 MM

3. Load calcualtion
Dead load 3.75 KN/M2
Live load 4 KN/M2
Floor finish load F.F 1 KN/M2
Total load (W) 8.75 KN/M2
Ultimate load or Factored load (Wu) 13.125 KN/M2

4. Calculation of ultimate moment

Mu shorter 18.1652165068 KN-M
Mu longer 13.6239123801 KN-M

Mu lim 46.644 KN-M

Mu ‹ Mu lim Hence slected depth is satisfied

5. Ast Calculation for shorter span

Mu 0.87*fy*Ast*d*(1-((Ast*fy)/(b*d*fck))
Mu (0.87*fy*Ast*d)-(0.87*fy*Ast*d*((Ast*fy)/(b*d*fck)))

Provide 10MM dia bars @ 180MM C/C

7. Ast Calculation for shorter span

Mu 0.87*fy*Ast*d*(1-((Ast*fy)/(b*d*fck))
Mu (0.87*fy*Ast*d)-(0.87*fy*Ast*d*((Ast*fy)/(b*d*fck)))
