Reinforcement Details
In continuous one-way slabs, the steel area of the main
reinforcement is calculated for all critical sections
, at ,
midspans, and at supports. The choice of bar diameter and detailing depends mainly on the steel areas, spacing

Solution Solution
1. Assume a slab thickness. For f
y
= 400MPa, the minimum depth
to control deflection is L/20 = 3.65/20 = 0.183m. Assume a
total depth of h= 190 mm and assume d= 160 mm.
2. Calculate factored load: weight of slab = 0.19 24 = 4.56kN/m
