According to Section 5.7.6.5, the flexural reinforcement shall not
be spaced farther apart than 3 times the slab thickness, nor 450

Shrinkage and Temperature Reinforcement

Concrete shrinks as it hardens. In addition, temperature changes
occur that causes expansion and contraction of concrete. In this
effect, Section 5.7.12 requires that one-way slabs, where flexural
reinforcement extends in one direction only, should be reinforced
for shrinkage and temperature stresses perpendicular to flexural
reinforcement.

provide at least the following ratios of reinforcement area to
gross concrete area, but not less than 0.0014.
