Example 1 (Simply Supported One-Way Slab)
The slab shown below is to be designed to carry a live load of 3 kN/m?2,
plus floor finishes and ceiling loads of 1.0 kN/m?. The characteristic
material strengths are f,,=30 N/mm? and f/=460 N/mm?. Assume 1hr fire
resistance and mild exposure.

20x1.30
=173mm => use 180mm
Table 3.3: For mild exposure, with C30: Nominal cover = 25mm
Table 3.4: For 1 hr fire resistance: Nominal cover = 20mm
Therefore: nominal cover = 25mmAssume 10mm diameter bars, then:
Overall depth, h = d+ cover + /2 = 180+25+5 = 210 mm
Loads:
Self weight = 210/1000*24 = = 5 KN/m?
Floor finishes = 1kN/m2
Total dead load = 6 kKN/m2
Live load = 3 KN/m2
Ultimate load, wy = 1.4x6 + 1.6x3 = 13.2 kN/m?
Ultimate load/m, w, = 13.2x1(m) = 13.2 kN/m
