Comparison of Methods for Calculation of Reinforced ConcreteSlab Thickness

Reinforced concrete building designers, as described by the current regulations and standards, with the help of equation obtained from dimensions of the floor plan, can make calculations of floor thickness. After, at structural analysis stage, under the influence bending moment of plate, the adequacy of the plate thickness has been calculated. With the help of the bending moment, the control of plate thickness can be made. However floors havevery thin sections, among other structural elements, and effect of other structural elements, constitute of starting point all of the main loads. In this study will focus on the basis for the calculation of formula slab thickness. Slab thickness will be compared to the formulas described in the old and new standards.
