depth of concrete = d = √(3w/stress),
d= √(3*6300/21)=30,

Now,
Thickness of Concrete= 0.85*d,
t=0.85*30,
t=25.5cm.

depth of concrete=d= sqrt(3w/stress),
d=sqrt(3*6300/21)=30,

Now,
Thickness of Concrete= 0.85*d,
t=0.85*30,
t=25.5cm.

Stress = load/area,

Thickness at interior is 0.85 d.

Please provide the explanation.

d = (3W/stress)^0.5,
= (3 * 6300/21)^0.5,
= 30.

Thickness will be 0.85 * 30 = 25.5.
