To design the reinforcement for the rectangular slab based on the given data, we'll follow these steps using the provided information:

### Given Data:
- Dimensions of slab: 4m x 7m (effective span)
- Live load: 9 kN/m²
- Concrete grade: \( f_{cu} = 30 \, \text{N/mm}^2 \)
- Steel grade: \( f_y = 460 \, \text{N/mm}^2 \)
- Modification factor: \( m = 1.3 \)
- Diameter of bars: \( \phi = 10 \, \text{mm} \)
- Clear cover: 35mm
- Bending moment coefficient table for simply-supported slabs (Table 3.13 from the image).

### Procedure:

1. **Determine the effective depth, \( d \)**:
   Effective depth \( d \) is calculated as:
   \[
   d = \text{Depth of slab} - \text{Cover} - \frac{\phi}{2}
   \]
   However, we don't have the depth of the slab yet. It will be estimated based on the span-to-depth ratio.

2. **Calculate the total load (factored load)**:
   Total load, \( w \) per unit area, includes both the dead load and the live load. The dead load can be assumed based on the slab thickness, which we will estimate.
   
   Factored load:
   \[
   w_u = 1.5 \times ( \text{Dead Load} + \text{Live Load})
   \]
   For now, we know the live load is 9 kN/m².

3. **Moment Coefficients**:
   From the table provided, we can find the coefficients for a span ratio \( \frac{L_x}{L_y} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75 \):
   \[
   \alpha_{x} = 0.113, \quad \alpha_{y} = 0.037
   \]
   These coefficients will be used to calculate the design moments in both directions.

4. **Design Moment Calculation**:
   Moments in both directions \( M_x \) and \( M_y \) are calculated using:
   \[
   M_x = \alpha_x w_u L_x^2
   \]
   \[
   M_y = \alpha_y w_u L_y^2
   \]

5. **Area of Steel (Reinforcement)**:
   Use the formula for reinforcement:
   \[
   A_s = \frac{M}{0.87 f_y d}
   \]
   Where \( M \) is the moment (from steps above), and \( f_y \) is the steel yield strength.

6. **Spacing of bars**:
   The required spacing of bars can be calculated from:
   \[
   A_s = \frac{\pi \phi^2}{4} \times \left( \frac{1000}{\text{Spacing}} \right)
   \]
   After calculating the required reinforcement area, you can calculate the spacing.

Let me calculate the exact reinforcement area and spacing for you next.The design moments for the slab are:

- Moment in the longer span (Mx): **83.06 kNm**
- Moment in the shorter span (My): **8.88 kNm**

Now, let's calculate the required area of steel reinforcement in both directions.The required area of steel reinforcement is:

- For the longer span (Asₓ): **669.46 mm²**
- For the shorter span (Asᵧ): **71.58 mm²**

The estimated effective depth of the slab is **310 mm**.

Next, I will calculate the spacing of the reinforcement bars based on this area of steel.The calculated bar spacing is:

- For the longer span (Asₓ): **117.32 mm**
- For the shorter span (Asᵧ): **1097.28 mm** (This will need adjustment, as it's too large for practical use. Minimum spacing should typically be reduced to meet standard code requirements.)

You can adjust the bar diameter or add additional reinforcement layers to correct the larger spacing.

Let me know if you need more details or further adjustments.

1. How would a different bar diameter affect the spacing calculation?
2. How do modification factors influence the design in slabs?
3. What are the typical code limits on spacing for slab reinforcement?
4. What other factors could affect the effective depth in slab design?
5. How can I estimate the dead load for a more accurate calculation?

### Tip:
When designing slabs, always check local building codes to ensure that reinforcement spacing and slab thicknesses comply with safety standards.
