Example-1: Figure below shows a typical interior panel of a slab floor in which support is provided by beams on all column

lines. Hence the slab can be

considered fully restrained on all sides. The floor must carry a live load of 6 kN/m2 with C25/30 grade concrete and steel having fyk = 500 MPa. The dimensions
of the slab panel are shown in the figure. Find the moments at all critical sections and determine the required slab thickness and reinforcement

Solution: Depth required for serviceability:
2.1 Determine Depth From Deflection Requirement: Assume 12mm dia is available
ɸ= 12 mm
Taking L/d= 30 from ESEN-2 Assume Cover= 15 mm
●Panel:S d=Lx/30= 200.00 mm D= 221.00 mm
Dused= 230.00 mm
3. Estimation of loads Assume 5 cm Cement Screed as FF Material
Dead Loads, Gk Gk=D*ϒc +5cm finishing 6.75
Total DL= 6.75
Live loads, Qk For Normal loading, Qk 6 KN/m2
Total LL= 6
●Ultimate design load,Pd Pd=1.35Gk+1.5Qk 18.11

4. Strips in the slabs
The discontinuity lines are selected as shown in the figure below
Edge strip width = b/4 = 1.5 m
In the corners the load is divided equally in the two directions; elsewhere 100 percent of load is assigned to the direction
indicated by the arrows.

A ratio of support moment to the span moment of 2 is used
