Concrete Slabs - Load Capacities
Load capacity of simply supported concrete slabs.
Load capacities of simply supported concrete slabs:
| Thickness (mm) | Self Weight (kg/m2) | Imposed Load (kg/m2) | Total Load | Span (m) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| kg/m2 | kN/m2 | ||||
| 100 | 240 | 500 | 740 | 7.26 | 2.4 |
| 125 | 300 | 500 | 800 | 7.85 | 3.0 |
| 150 | 360 | 500 | 860 | 8.44 | 3.6 |
Imposed loads varies from approximately 1.5 kN/m2 (153 kg/m2) in domestic buildings to approximately 10 kN/m2 (1053 kg/m2) in heavy industrial areas. 500 kg/m2 is typical for office, storage space and similar.
