 Initial Member sizing
Referred Documents: IStructE Manual, BS 8110:Part1:1985

Criteria for selection of slab (Thickness):

• Selection of cover: Exposure condition & Fire resistance
• Span/ effective depth ratio: Imposed Load & type of slab
• Minimum slab thickness: Fire resistance
Criteria for selection of beam (Width & Depth)
• Width - Selection of cover: Exposure condition & Fire resistance
- Minimum beam width: Fire resistance
• Depth - Span/ effective depth ratio: type of beam
Criteria for selection of column (Breadth)
• Selection of cover: Exposure condition & Fire resistance
• Minimum column width: Fire resistance
• Ultimate load capacity
