Question 1
Fd = 1.2G + 1.5Q
= 1.2 x 3.8 + 1.5 x 3.5 = 9.8 kPa
x dirn
M*-ve = 14.9 kNm/m
M*+ve = 11.3 kNm/m (and 15.7 kNm/m in one bay)
y dirn
M*-ve = 11.6 kNm/m (and 13.9 kNm/m in one bay)
M*+ve = 8.6 kNm/m (and 10.6 kNm/m in one bay)

Loads to beams – See Fig. 6.10.3.4
w1 = 9.8 kPa x 2.5m = 24.5kN/m peak UDL (Total load = 5m x 24.5 / 2 = 61.3kN)
w2 = 9.8kPa x (2.5 + 2.5) = 49kN/m peak UDL (Total load per span =122.5 kN)
a = 0.7L = 3500 mm

Question 2
Ly = 12 m, Lx = 10 m
Exposure A1, hence f’c = 25 MPa (minimum 20mm cover BUT 25mm better – We will use 25mm)
Q = 4 kPa
Try D = 270 mm
Strength design
Fd = 1.2G + 1.5Q
= 1.2 (0.27 x 24) + 1.5 x 4
= 13.8 kPa
3 of 5
-ve moments
Continuous edges
AB M*-ve = 1.33 x 48.3 = 64.2 kNm/m
Discontinuous edges
AC M*-ve = 0.5 x 63.5 = 31.8 kNm/m
24.2
d = 270 – 25 – 6 = 239 mm
Ast
= 0.19 x (270/239)2 x [0.6(25)0.5]/500 = 0.00145
bd
Mu = fsyAst0.925d (for slabs use z ≈ 0.925d instead of 0.85d used for beams)
99.3∗106
Hence 𝐴𝑠𝑡 = 500∗0.925∗239 = 898 mm2/m => Try N16 @ 225 cts (889 mm2/m)
T = Astfsy
= 889 x 500 / 1000 = 444.5 kN
C = 2f’cbkud
4 of 5
Hence ku = 0.10 < 0.36 OK ductile and strain in steel greater than yield strain.

M u T d k u d

= 444.5 x 0.239 (1 - 0.5 x 0.908 x 0.10)
= 101.4 kNm/m
Mu = fsyAst0.925d
74.7∗106
Hence 𝐴𝑠𝑡 = 500∗0.925∗239 = 675 mm2/m
So for x direction, positive moment, try N16 @ 300 cts (667 mm2/m)
T = Astfsy
= 667 x 500 / 1000 = 333.5 kN
C = 2f’cbkud
Hence ku = 0.076 < 0.36 OK ductile and strain in steel greater than yield strain.

M u T d k u d

= 333.5 x 0.239 (1 - 0.5 x 0.908 x 0.076)
= 77.0 kNm/m
Continue for Top & Bottom steel in y direction, remembering that minimum steel must always be
provided.
