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

Statement I): Torsion reinforcement is provided at (and near) corners in a two-way slab which is simply supported on both edges meeting at the corner. Statement II): The area of reinforcement in each of the layers shall be three-quarters of the area required for maximum mid-span moment in the slab.
If K is a constant depending upon the ratio of the width of the slab to its effective span $$l$$, x is the distance of the concentrated load from the nearer support, bw is the width of the area of contact of the concentrated load measured parallel to the supported edge, the effective width of the slab be is
