HOW TO CALCULATE DEAD WEIGTH OF CONCRETE SLAB



THE UNIT WEIGHT OF RCC SLAB IS 2500KG/SQM

JUST MULTIPLY THE SLAB THICKNESS AND AND YOU HAVE THE DEAD LOAD OF THE SLAB THICKNESS
EXAMPLE

DEAD LOAD OF THE SLAB 150MM (0.15M) SHALL BE:

2500*0.15=375KG/M

TOTAL DEAD LOAD ON SLAB

EXAMPLE 
LENGTH:-8M
WIDTH:-6M

AREA = 8M*6M=48SQM

DEAD LOAD

2500*0.15*6*8=18000KG
=18 TONNES

DEAD LOAD IN THE FORM OF UDL

ASSUME EFFECTIVE SPAN = 6M

SO, UDL =18000/6= 3000KG/M.
