This document provides problems and examples related to detailing of beams and slabs in reinforced concrete structures. It discusses concepts like continuous beams, cantilever beams, flanged beams, one-way slabs, and two-way slabs. Seven problems are presented involving drawing the longitudinal section and cross sections of beams and slabs and showing reinforcement details. The document concludes with two problems for the reader to solve involving preparing bar bending schedules and estimating quantities of steel and concrete.

Introduction
• Used for covering spaces in the
form of roof or floor
• Slab may be supported on walls or
beams or columns .
• Slab supported directly by columns are
called flat slab
• One Way Slab
• Two Way Slab

19. Dr.G.S.Suresh19
Introduction
• Slabs could be simply supported,
continuous or cantilever
• In two way slab the corners may be held
down by restraints or may be allowed to
lift up
• Additional torsion reinforcement is
required at corners when it is restrained
against uplifting as shown in Fig

Introduction

21. Dr.G.S.Suresh21
Introduction
• Thickness of the slab is decided based on
span to depth ratio specified in IS456-2000.
Min reinforcement is 0.12% for HYSD bars and
0.15 % for mild steel bars.
• The maximum diameter of bar used in slab
should not exceed 1/8 of the total thickness of
slab
• Maximum spacing of main bar is restricted to
3 times effective depth or 300 mm which ever
is less
• For distribution bars the maximum spacing is
specified as 5 times the effective depth or 450
mm which ever is less

22. Dr.G.S.Suresh22
Introduction
• Generally 15 mm to 20 mm cover is
provided for the main reinforcements
• Alternate main bars can be cranked near
support or could be bent at 1800 at the
edge and then extended at the top inside
the slab as shown in Fig
• Curtailment and cranking of bars and is
shown in Fig

rectangular beam of size 300 mm x 500 mm, clear span 5m supported
on walls of 0.3m, use a suitable scale
Reinforcements:
Main: 4 No. 16mm dia with 2 No. cranked at 1m from centre of
support. Stirrup holders 2 Nos. of 12 mm dia
Stirrups: 2 legged 8 mm dia stirrups at 250 mm c/c in the central 2m
span and 2 legged 8 mm dia stirrups at 150 mm c/c in the remaining
portion. Assume concrete M 20 grade and steel Fe 415, and suitable
cover. Prepare the bar bending schedule and calculate quantity of steel
and concrete required.
