Different flat slab thickness
Different flat slab thickness
(OP)
Greetings to all,
I am currently doing a design for a G+Mezanine+3floors+roof. Here I am using flat slab as the its a multi purpose building so the wall to wall doesn't match. Ground 7 mezzanine floors have lots of vacant space were as 1st to 3rd floors are accommodation. so there are brick wall etc. So more load is coming in level 1st to 3rd. More thickness shall be considered for 1st to 3rd floor. I am considering 250mm thick slab for mezzanine, 290mm thick slab for 1st to 3rd. Intermediate columns also present. Is it ok if I consider lesser thickness for the mezzanine floor and greater thickness for 1st to 3rd.
Need your advise. Guys please help me out.

You state 'mezzanine floors have lots of vacant space'. Designing for loading dictated by a specified use is acceptable, but it's likely that current vacant space will end up as used space sometime in the future.
A reasonable imposed load must be allowed for, but I would ask the architect/client for an specific requirements re future-proofing.
