Question: An upper office floor is to be an all - concrete monolithic beam & slab system. The floor slab is to span 1 - way

An upper office floor is to be an all-concrete monolithic beam & slab system. The floor slab is to span 1-way & continuously over a number of rectangular down-stand beams at 2.5mcc which will themselves be simply supported over an 8m span between columns. Make rational choices for material properties, slab thickness and beam dimensions based on deflection & fire considerations, assuming "mild" internal exposure conditions and a 1-hour fire resistance (if you use the guide values below you must justify them first!). Design the T-beam section for bending & shear.
(Guide: fck=25Nmm2;100mm slab & 550mm(450mm down-stand)x200mm beams; for LL of 3kNm2, w beam (:~~23kNm;As=2H25&Asw=H8-375}
