ln [0.6 + f y / 1000]
hs ≥
30
(Note: Slab thickness, hs, should be multiplied by 1.1 because of discontinuity).
9000[0.6 + 400 / 1000]
hs ≥ = 300mm , Use hs = 300mm as a slab thickness.
30

2. Compute Slab Loading (1Mark)

SW = 0.3 x 24 = 7.2 KPa SDL = 2KPa. L = 4.8 KPa

W f = 1.25D + 1.5L = 1.25 x (7.2 + 2) + 1.5 x 4.8 = 18.7 KPa

First point of each two the slopped yield lines passes through and intersection point of
two rotation axes (A and B) while the other point of the two sloped lines (E) is the
intersection with a third yield line situated at the common line between the 2 rotating East
and West plates (ACFE and EFDB). Intersection point location on the third yield line is
calculated by virtual work.
