Minimum and maximum reinforcement in slab

Minimum and maximum reinforcement in slab | minimum reinforcement in slab | maximum reinforcement in slab | minimum reinforcement in slab as per IS 456 | minimum reinforcement in slab as per BS8110.

Minimum and maximum reinforcement in slab
Minimum and maximum reinforcement in slab

There is two types of longitudinal Steel bar provided in RCC slab tension bar and compression bar, it will be provided to increase the strength of slab. There is a various standard like IS code 456:2000 and BS8110 who explain what is minimum and maximum reinforcement required in slab.

Main bar of Steel also known as shortist bar provided in shorter direction of slab, it is also known as tension bar used to resist tension load acting on it. Main Reinforcement Bars are used to transfer the bending moment developed at the bottom of the slab.

Distribution Bars also known as longest bar used in longest direction of slab, it is compression bar, used to hold the slabs on either way and to resist the cracks and shear stress developed at the top.

A lot of questions arises in our mind what is the minimum and maximum reinforcement used in slab. As we know there is different types of grade of Steel bar like mild steel bar (Fe 250) and HYSD bar of high yield strength like Fe415 and Fe500 and above. If we use higher grade of Steel then minimum percentage/ ratio of steel bar required for slab, if we use mild steel then percentage of of ratio of steel increases.

Minimum and maximum reinforcement in slab

Minimum and maximum reinforcement used in RCC slab depends on types of slab either it will be one way slab, two way slab and Flat slab. Now question is what is the minimum reinforcement ratio in a slab and what is minimum reinforcement required for RCC work.

What is the value of minimum reinforcement Fe415 in a slab

What is the value of minimum reinforcement fe415 in a slab?:- As per IS 456: 2000 in slab as per clause 26.5.2.1, for HYSD/ Fe415/ Fe500 and above minimum reinforcement shall be 0.12 percent of total cross sectional area (B×D), where B = width of slab and D is overall depth including cover.

What is the minimum reinforcement in slab made using mild steel

What is the minimum reinforcement in slab made using mild steel?:- As per IS 456: 2000 in slab made as per clause 26.5.2.1, for mild steel Fe250, minimum reinforcement shall be 0.15 percent of total cross sectional area (B×D), where B = width of slab and D is overall depth including cover.

Minimum reinforcement in slab using HYSD is

As per IS 456: 2000 in slab as per clause 26.5.2.1, for using HYSD/ Fe415/ Fe500 and above minimum reinforcement is 0.12 percent of total cross sectional area (B×D), where B = width of slab and D is overall depth including cover.

Minimum reinforcement in slab as per IS 456

As per IS 456: 2000 in slab as per clause 26.5.2.1, for mild steel (Fe250), minimum reinforcement shall be 0.15 percent of total cross sectional area (B×D) and for High yield strength reinforcement HYSD/Fe 415/Fe500 and above, minimum reinforcement are used around 0.12% of total cross sectional area (B×D). And maximum reinforcement in slab is restricted to 1 to 2% of total gross sectional area (B×D), where B is width of slab and D is over all depth of slab including cover.

Minimum reinforcement in slab

In slab, minimum reinforcement shall be 0.12% of gross sectional area (B×D), taking B= 1m width of slab and D= overall depth including cover, then minimum reinforcement will be = 0.12/100× × 100× D = 0.12D sq. cm.
Minimum reinforcement is ensured in slab (in both directions) to take care of shrinkage, thermal movements and distribution of loads etc.

Minimum reinforcement in slab as per BS8110

As per BS 8110 in slab, for mild steel (Fe250), minimum reinforcement shall be 0.24 percent of total cross sectional area (B×D) and for High yield strength reinforecement HYSD/Fe 415/Fe500 and above, minimum reinforcement are used around 0.24% of total cross sectional area (B×D). And maximum reinforcement in slab is restricted to 1 to 2% of total gross sectional area (B×D), where B is width of slab and D is over all depth of slab including cover.

Minimum reinforcement in slab as per ACI code

As per ACI Code, In slab, minimum reinforcement shall be 0.18% of gross sectional area (B×D), taking B= 1m width of slab and D= overall depth including cover, then minimum reinforcement will be = 0.18/100× × 100× D = 0.18D sq. cm.
Minimum reinforcement is ensured in slab (in both directions) to take care of shrinkage, thermal movements and distribution of loads etc.
