FORMULATION OF DESIGN TABLES AND CHARTS FOR DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS

JUSTINE CHUKWUNONSO UBAH (NAU/2017224028)

Abstract


The study was undertaken to formulate design tables and charts for design of reinforced concreteslabs. The design tables and charts were developed based on mathematical derivation done inaccordance with BS 8110. Several design charts were developed with respect to the ratio ofeffective depth to the overall depth of the slab cross section. The developed design charts andtables were restricted to design of singly reinforced concrete slab at both ultimate and serviceabilitylimit state. Several design examples were solved using the developed tables and charts. Accuracyof the developed design tables and charts were assessed using BS 8110 design code of practice. Itwas deduced that the developed design tables and charts was reliable as reasonable agreement existbetween the design output obtained using the developed design tables and charts and BS 8110design solution.
