90

Type of slab supported by beams in all four sides.

TWO WAY SLAB

It contains all the list of rebars for the reinforced concrete works to organize and quantify rebars and efficiently complete RC works

BAR BENDING SCHEDULE

According to NSCP 2015, if the clear span length between two simple supports is 2.5m, 

1. What is the minimum thickness of the slab if a one-way slab is to be built between them? Round up to the nearest 5mm.

2. What is the minimum thickness of the slab if a two-way slab (with interior drop panels) is to be built between them? Use fy =  420 MPa. Round up to the nearest 5mm.

SOL’N 1:

hmin=L/20

L= 2.5mm = 2500mm

hmin= 2500mm/20= 125mm

SOL’N 2:

fy= 420MPa

L= 125mm

hmin=(L/36)(280/fsuby )^1/3

hmin= 70mm
