and Prestressed Concrete

Assignment 2 Flat Slab Flexural Design

A reinforced concrete flat slab floor consists of rectangular bays measuring 6.4 x 8.0 m, as shown in Fig.
2.1 below. The slab thickness is 250 mm. The supporting columns are 600mm x 600mm

The floor is designed to carry a service dead load of 2.0 kPa and live load of 4.0 kN/m2, uniformly
distributed over its surface in addition to its own weight.

The material properties are: fcu = 30 MPa and fy = 460 MPa.

Design the followings to BS8110, Part 1,

a.) The slab flexural reinforcement for the exterior and interior spans of the interior panels in the
long direction. Use Table 3.12 of BS8110 to calculate the design moments.

b.) Check the adequacy of slab shear.

c.) Check and design for punching shear. (Only for 1st perimeter punching shear control zone)
