010 Longitudinal Reinforcement Design One-Way Slabs

In a residential building, a slab is designed on the top of three beams as shown in the figure below. The cantilever of 1.8 meters is supposed to be used as a balcony. A dead load of 1𝑘𝑁/𝑚2 is considered for the finishing layer. The nominal cover is assumed to be 25mm for the slab, concrete class C30/37, and steel of B500. The primary and secondary reinforcement can be from 12mm in diameter. According to the given information:

  1. Determine the required depth of the slab.
  2. Design the primary and secondary reinforcement on the top and bottom layers.
  3. Check the design to comply with the Eurocode detailing requirement based on Finnish National Annex.
