load of 9.3 kN/m and imposed loads of 10.7 kN/m at service.

Calculate the shortand long-term deflections and check the requirements of IS 456.
Solution 1:
Step 1: Properties of plain concrete section
Taking moment of the area about the bottom of the beam
yt =

I gr

(300)(600)(300) + (2234 - 300)(100)(550)


= 429.48 mm
(300)(600) + (2234 - 300)(100)

300(429.48) 3
2234(170.52) 3 1934(70.52) 3
=

This can also be computed from SP-16 as explained below:


Here, bf /bw = 7.45, Df /D = 0.17. Using these values in chart 88 of SP-16,
we get k1 = 2.10.
Igr = k1bw D3/12 = (2.10)(300)(600)3/12 = (11.384)(10)9 mm4
Step 2: Properties of the cracked section (Fig.7.17.2)

f cr = 0.7

f ck (cl. 6.2.2 of IS 456) = 3.13 N/mm2
