HOW DO WE CALCULATE THE DEAD LOAD IN THE SLAB?

 

Given data:

Length = 8m

Breadth = 6m

Thickness = 0.15m

1. DEAD LOAD PER UNIT AREA

Slab thickness - 150mm (0.150m)

The density of RCC - 2500 kg/m3 or 25 KN/m3

The density of RCC is 2500 kg/m3 or 25 KN/m3, as specified by the standards.

Dead load (DL) = 2500 x 0.15 = 375kg/sqm

 

2. TOTAL DEAD LOAD ON SLAB

Length = 8m

Breadth = 6m

Area = 6 x 8 = 48m³

Dead load = 2500 x 0.15 x 6 x 8 = 18000kg - 18 ton

 

3. DEAD LOAD IN THE FORM OF UDL

Assume effective span = 6m (breadth)

So, UDL = 18000/6 = 3000 kg/m
