A simply supported reinforced concrete slab has an effective span of 5m on the supports which are 350mm wide. The slab is to be designed to carry a variable load of 4kN/m2 plus floor finishes and ceiling loads of 2kN/m2. The characteristics material strengths are fck=40N/mm2 and fyk-500N/mm2. Basic span-effective depth ratio = 26 for a lightly stressed slab for class C40/50 concrete and p = 0.5%. Design the slab and illustrate how a smaller depth of %3D slab is adequate.
