Using above explained methods, bending moments can be found each cases. In addition to
the span moments, bending moments at supports also can be found from above table.
Notations of the bending moments at span and supports are as follows.

Design Example

Ratio of shorter longer span to shorter span = 1.3

Characteristic strength of concrete = 25 N/mm2

Cover to the reinforcement = 25 mm
Characteristic strength of reinforcement = 460 N/mm2

Shorter Span = 3m
Slab thickness = 150mm
Live Load = 2.5 kN/mm2
Finishes and partitions = 1 kN/mm2

Consider a slab panel with two adjacent edgers discontinues

From table 3.14 (see above), found bending moment coefficients are as follows.

At Short Span
Negative moment at continues edge = 0.069
Positive moment at mid span = 0.051

At Longer Span
Negative moment at continues edge = 0.045
Positive moment at mid span = 0.035

Find design Load

Dead Load = 0.15x 24

= 3.6 kN/mm2

www.structuralguide.com/2015/11/slab-design-to-bs-8110.html 2/4
9/3/2019 Structural Engineering: Slab Design to BS 8110
Total dead load = 3.6 + 1

= 4.6 kN/mm2

Live load = 2.5 kN/mm2

Design Load = 1.4 Dead Load + 1.6 Live Load

= 1.4x4.6 + 1.6x2.5
= 10.44 kN/mm2

Find the bending moments

Positive moment at mid span (shorter span)

msx = 0.051x10.44x32
= 4.8 kNm

Positive moment at mid span (longer span)

msy = 0.035x10.44x32
= 3.3 kNm

Similarly, bending moments at supports also can be found from above coefficients.

Design of shorter span

Effective depth = 150-25-10/2
= 120 mm

K = M/bd2fcu
= 4.8x106/(1000x1202x25)
= 0.028

K < K' = 0.156

Hence, section is singly reinforced.

Z = d[0.5+{0.25-K/0.9}1/2]
= 120[0.5+{0.25-0.028/0.9}1/2]
= 116.174 mm

As = M / (0.95fyZ)
= 4.8x106 / (0.95x460x116.174)
= 197 mm2

Provide T10 bars at a spacing of 200mm.

Provided reinforcement 393 mm2/m
