Analysis and design of Two way slab
Analysis and design of Two way slab
As per clause 26.5.2.2 of IS 456 :2000 , the reinforcing bars shall not exceed 1/8 of the
total thickness of the slab.
Design a R.C Slab for a room measuring 6.5mx5m. The slab is cast monolithically over
the beams with corners held down. The width of the supporting beam is 230
mm.The slab carries superimposed load of 4.5kN/m2. Use M-20 concrete and Fe-500
Steel.
Since, the ratio of length to width of slab is less than 2 and slab is resting on
beam, the slab is designed as two way restrained slab.
Step: 1 Depth of slab and effective span
Assume approximate depth d = l/30
= 5000/30 = 166mm
Assume D = 180 mm
& clear cover 15 mm for mild exposure d
= 180-20 = 160 mm.
Effective span is lesser of the two
i) ly = 6.5+0.23 = 6.73 m ,
lx = 5.0+0.23 = 5.23 m
ii) ly = 6.5+0.16 = 6.66 m,
lx = 5+0.16 = 5.16 m
ly = 6.66 m
lx = 5.16 m
ly 6.66
α = = = 1.3
lx 5.16

∝x = 0.079
∝y = 0.056
Positive moment at mid span of short span Mx = 0.079 x 13.5 x 5.162
= 28.40 kNm
Positive moment at mid span of longer span Mx = 0.056 x 13.5 x 5.162
= 20.13 kNm
