Economic depth of solid one-way RC slabs to PBAB'87 and Eurocode 2

Abstract

The paper presents the procedure and criteria for determining the economic overall depth of solid one-way reinforced concrete slabs of 2 to 10 m span, with imposed load of 1.5 to 10 kN/m2, to PBAB'87 and Eurocode 2. The results obtained according to both regulations are compared and recommendations for the adoption of economic depth of solid RC slabs, span-to-depth ratio and percentage of reinforcement are given.
