QUANTITY OF IRON IN CASSETTE FLOOR

[ezazile53]

I am trying to solve a B+Z+10 storey building with a construction area of approximately 10,000 m2 with a cassette flooring system. When I look at the reinforcement quantity after the analysis, I see a reinforcement quantity in the range of 490-510 tons. This is approximately 50 kg per m2. When I look at the detailed quantity, the amount of reinforcement given to the cassettes is in the range of 16-18 tons per floor. I think this size is too much. How should I go about reducing the reinforcement quantity?
