Slab Load Calculator – Dead & Live Load

Quality Inspector

Estimate gravity loads on concrete slabs.

📐 Formula & Method

Self Weight = Thickness/1000 × 25 kN/m³. Factored Load = 1.5 × (Dead + Live).

Dead Load = (T/1000 × 25) + FF

Factored = 1.5 × (DL + LL)

150mm slab, 1.0 finish, 2.0 live load:
• Self Weight = 0.15 × 25 = 3.75
• Dead Load = 3.75 + 1.0 = 4.75
• Factored = 1.5 × (4.75 + 2.0) ≈ 10.1 kN/m²

What is the density of RCC?

Standard reinforced concrete density is taken as 25 kN/m³ (approx 2500 kg/m³).
