Calculate the area of reinforcement for a one-way RC slab. Given the following data.

1) Design bending moment, Mu in N.mm


2) Grade of materials – grade of concrete, fck and grade of steel, fy in MPa
3) Overall depth of slab, D in mm
4) Effective depth of slab, d in mm
5) Diameter of bar, db in mm

Sol:

a) The area of reinforcement in slab, Ast is calculated by the expression

𝑓𝑐𝑘 4.6. 𝑀𝑢
𝐴𝑠𝑡 = [1 − √1 − ] 𝑏𝑑
2. 𝑓𝑦 𝑓𝑐𝑘. 𝑏𝑑2

b = 1000 mm in the above equation.

b) The value of Ast is to be compared with Ast min

Ast min = Area of minimum reinforcement in slab = 0.12% bD

If Ast < Ast min, then provide Ast

c) Spacing of reinforcement, Sp =
𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑏
𝑆𝑝 = 𝑋1000
𝐴𝑠𝑡

d) The value of Sp is compared with maximum permissible spacing

If Sp > 350 mm, the Sp = 350 mm
