CE 2.2 Project Background
CE 2.2.1 Characteristics of the project
The concrete slabs can be referred to as the structural elements of modern buildings.
These are horizontal slabs of steel reinforced concrete, usually between 100 mm to 500 mm
thickness. These slabs are majorly utilized for the core purpose of constructing floors and
ceilings and the thin slabs are utilized for exterior paving. The thin slabs ranging from 51 mm to
150 mm are known as mud slabs and the major slabs and crawl spaces are utilized. The beam
and block are also being used in the residential and industrial applications. The previously
stressed beams as well as hollow blocks are hence propped until being set, generally after 21
days. During this project, I had designed specific reinforced concrete slabs by pre-casting and
installing the hollow core slab on site with the help of a crane. I majorly considered the concrete
slabs for high rise buildings so that security is highly maintained without much complexity. I
casted in situ slabs with reinforced steel and shutters. Hence, in the project, I had successfully

proposed a proper design for the reinforced concrete slab after considering each and every
technical specification.
CE 2.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
I have maintained a distinctive sequential manner in my project of reinforced concrete
slabs and have followed all types of standards and specifications. I specified the readily available
standardized form sizes and then strived for the simple formworks. Hence, for the purpose of
completing this project eventually and then simulate and evaluate the respective performances of
this reinforced concrete slab and then making it extremely effective and efficient, I have
eventually developed these objectives given below:
 To propose an effective design for the reinforced concrete slab before analysis of the
floor systems.
 To make that particular reinforced concrete slab extremely efficient and resistant from
rain and fire.
 To properly determine designing force for the concrete beams and even one way slabs.
 To complete soil analysis with sieve test analysis.
 To use certain software to check the overall efficiency as well as results of these concrete
slabs.
 To follow a sequential manner in the project so that execution is much easier in
comparison to the others.
 To contrast and analyze my experimental results with my evaluated theoretical outcomes
of the project.

CE 2.2.3 My area of work
Since I had experience in core civil and structural engineering projects, I was being
recruited as the chief project developer and a responsible team member in this specific project. It
was majorly for the cause that I had completed various similar types of projects beforehand and
thus I will not confront any type of complexity during executing the complete project entirely by
myself or with my team. Moreover, with the ease of using my intellect and civil engineering
skills, I was able to solve every technical difficulty faced here. As, I comprised of skills like
logical reasoning, the project supervisor kept confidence upon me to complete the works of
project.

In this particular project of reinforced concrete slabs, I was subsequently assigned to
properly propose a compact as well as accurate design to the reinforced concrete slabs. I had
