1. Locally supported ceiling slab – preliminary dimension design, scheme of structure, load specification, load cases within defined inner part of submitted structure. 2. Calculation of internal forces within defined part of the structure with the help of simplified method (direct method eventually substitute frame method), load combinations. 3. The effect of the bending moment - design of part reinforced concrete slab. 4. The punching – design of part of reinforced concrete slab (within inner column). 5. Finishing of design, principle of SLS (serviceability limit state), scheme drawing of the reinforcement of defined part of the slab. 6. Checking. 7.
