Example 6.1 - Slab-Simply Supported (One-Way)
A rectangular reinforced concrete slab is simply supported on two masonry walls 250mm
thick and 4.0m apart (clear distance). The slab has to carry a distributed permanent action
of 1.0kN/m2 (excluding slab self-weight) and a variable action of 3.0kN/m2. The materials to
be used are grade C30 concrete and grade 500 reinforcement. The slab is outside building
which subjected to 1 hour fire resistance and design for 50 years design life. Design the slab.
