Design a simply supported slab over a clear span of 11 feet with a superimposed dead load of 25 psf and a live load of 220 psf. Compressive strength of concrete is 3500 psi and yield strength of steel is  40,000 psi. Note: thickness h should be greater than or equal to = Span/20 with correction for 40,000 psi steel. The correction factor is same for beams and slabs.

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
