Slab Design To BS 8110

This document discusses the design of slabs according to BS 8110. It provides methods for determining the bending moments in one-way and two-way slabs depending on their boundary conditions, including simply supported and restrained slabs. Tables are referenced which give bending moment coefficients. An example is also given demonstrating how to use the coefficients to calculate design loads, bending moments, and design the reinforcement for a slab.

Slab Design to BS 8110

Slab design is comparatively easy when compared with the design of other elements. The first stage of the design is
finding the bending moment of the slab panels.

Depending on the boundary condition and the properties of the slabs, methods of finding bending moment is
expressed in the BS 8110 Part 01 as follows.

One way spanning slabs

the following table can be referred.

There is two conditions that should be satisfied to use the above table.
1. The ratio of the characteristic imposed load to characteristic dead load does not exceed 1.25
2. Characteristic imposed load does not exceed 5 N/mm  excluding partitions
2

Simply supported slabs – Two way spanning

The bending moment can be found using bending moment coefficients given in the code. There are two equations
that can be used to find the bending moments.

m = α nl m = α nl
sx sx x
2
sy sy x
2

Here m m  are the bending moments at each direction, α α  are the bending moment coefficients and l  is the
sx  and  sy sx  and  syy x

shorter span of the slab panel.


The following table can be referred to find the bending moment coefficients.

Restrain slabs – Two way spanning

There is a table to find the bending moment coefficients depending on the boundary conditions and the ratio of the
two spans which is a large span to a small span.
Using the above-explained method, binding moments can be found in each case. In addition, the span behind
moments at supports also can be found from the above Table. Notation of the bending moments at span and
supports are as follows.

Design Example

The ration of shorter span to a longer span = 1.3


Characteristic strength of concrete                 = 25 N/mm 2

Cover to the reinforcement                             = 25 mm


Characteristic strength of reinforcement       = 460 N/mm 2

Shorter Span                                                = 3m
Slab thickness                                             = 150mm
Live Load                                                       = 2.5 kN/mm
2

Finishes and partitions                           = 1 kN/mm 2

Consider a slab panel with two adjacent edgers discontinues


From table 3.14 (see above), found bending moment coefficients are as follows.
At Short Span
Negative moment at continues edge           =  0.069
Positive moment at mid-span                        =  0.051
At Longer Span
Negative moment at continues edge           =  0.045
Positive moment at mid-span                        =  0.035
Find Desing Loads
Dead Load              = 0.15x 24
                                = 3.6 kN/mm 2

Total Dead Load = 3.6 + 1

= 4.6 kN/mm 2

Live load                 = 2.5  kN/mm 2

Design Load            = 1.4 Dead Load + 1.6 Live Load


                                = 1.4×4.6 + 1.6×2.5
                                = 10.44 kN/mm 2

Find the bending moments


Positive moment at mid span (shorter span)

m = 0.051×10.44×3
sx                                   
2

                                 = 4.8 kNm
Positive moment at mid span (longer span)
m = 0.035×10.44×3
sy                                   
2

                                 = 3.3 kNm
Similarly, bending moments at supports also can be found from the above coefficients.

Design of shorter span


Effective depth            = 150-25-10/2
                                    = 120 mm
                     K            = M/bd fcu
2

                                    = 4.8×10 /(1000×120 x25)


6 2

                                    = 0.028
                     K            < K’ = 0.156

Hence, section is singly reinforced.


                     Z             = d[0.5+{0.25-K/0.9} ] 1/2

                                    = 120[0.5+{0.25-0.028/0.9} ]1/2

                                    = 116.174 mm
                     As           = M / (0.95fyZ)
                                    = 4.8×10  / (0.95x460x116.174)
6

                                    = 197 mm 2

Provide T10 bars at a spacing of 200mm.


Provided reinforcement 393 mm /m 2
