concept:

For two way slab of shorter span (up to 3.5 m) with mild steel reinforcement, the span to overall depth ratios is given below may generally be assumed to satisfy vertical deflection limits for loading class up to 3 kN/m2

Type of Beam

span/depth ratio for

Mild Steel

span/depth ratio for

HYSD bars

Simply Supported

35

28

Continuous Slab

40

32

 

Note:

For slabs spanning in two directions, the shorter of the two spans should be used for calculating the span to effective depth ratio.

Main reinforcement will be provided in a shorter span (3m) and distribution reinforcement will be provided in a longer span (7 m).
