Pyramidal Slab

The document describes the design of a pyramidal slab with a length of 4.2m, breadth of 4.2m, and apex height of 0.9m. It includes calculations to determine the stresses in the slab across two sections. The maximum compressive stress in the slab is found to be 1.087N/mm^2 across one section and 1.316N/mm^2 across the other, below the allowable stress of 275N/mm^2. Steel reinforcement is designed to resist a tensile stress of 25.51N/mm^2 in one section and 24.59N/mm^2 in the other.
