Design of One way Slab

Once thickness is settled. Its time to design slabs using spreadsheet. Lets focus on one way slab..

observe that all colored values except red are linked from the preceding tab, the design criteria tab and slab thickness determination tab. This is the beauty of the spreadsheet. You can linked values in the entire spreadsheet to assure uniformity. 

Loads from design criteria and design constants are displayed to be consistent with what is shown in design criteria. Input rebar diameter to be used which is normally 10mm and the spreadsheet will show required spacing.

Observed that governing spacing is 300mm because the load for residential is lighter compared to buildings.
