Finally got the sofware doing its thing and got the answers I need...
Worst case scenarios, fully loaded with 4.5tonnes of wall/roof, live load and mill etc... and including 8.8tonnes of self weight!
Clay shrinks under hard core in centre and theres only support at corners (centre sags 3mm)
Clay heaves under hard core and lifts slab off footings (corners drop about 2mm)
Clay shrinks at one end and leaves end floating in space.... (it drops 7mm or so)
Using BS8110 part 3 tables I now know that i need some substantial mesh/reinforcement...
In slab I need B1131 (100mm/12mm dia x 200mm/8mm dia)
In beams I need 10 x T12mm bars, 5 top and 5 bottom on the long side and 8 x T8 (4 top, 4 bottom) on the short sides.
Its cheaper to use the more expensive mesh than to make the concrete thicker...
