What is the minimum thickness of two way simply supported slab with span 2.5 × 3.5 m and subjective to live load of 3kN/m2 is reinforced with Fe 250.
What is the minimum thickness of two way simply supported slab with span 2.5 × 3.5 m and subjective to live load of 3kN/m2 is reinforced with Fe 250. Correct Answer 72 mm
Concept:
As per IS 456: 2000, Cl 24.1:
For two-way slabs of shorter spans(up to 3.5 m) with mild steel reinforcement, the span(shorter) to overall depth ratios given below may generally be assumed to satisfy vertical deflection limits for loading class up to 3 kN/m2.
|
Type of Slab |
Shorter span/overall depth ratio (l/D) |
|
Simply Supported Slab |
35 |
|
Continuous Slab |
40 |
For HYSD bars such as Fe 415 and above grade, the above values to be multiplied by ‘0.8’.
Calculation:
Slab is simply supported and Shorter Span = 2.5 ; Load = 3 kN/m2 with mild steel of Fe 250
Based on above given information:
Shorter span to overall depth ratio i.e. l/D = 35
D = 2500/35
∴ D = 72 mm
