Two-Way RC Slab Design for Hotel Top Floor in Kiama NSW, Australia

This report details the design of a two-way reinforced concrete (RC) slab for the top floor of a hotel in Kiama, NSW, following the assignment brief provided. The design process includes manual calculations for determining design loads, bending moments, and shear forces. The effective depth of the slab is verified, and reinforcement calculations are performed. The report references relevant academic papers and includes an attached Excel file for supplementary calculations. The design adheres to standard procedures and considers factors such as exposure classification and the selection of torsion reinforcing bars. The project successfully develops a two-way RC slab design suitable for the specified application.

Introduction
This report brings the overview of the design development of the two way RC slab supported on
its four edges. Here the RC design is developed for hotel top floor. Here the design process
involves both calculations as well as the selection of materials. In the initial stage of the project,
the loads and pressure will be calculated. Then the effective depth of the slab will be calculated.
And also torsion reinforcing bars will be selected.
