Designing two way slabs: An example
A two-way slab is a type of R.C.C. slab that distributes loads in two perpendicular directions efficiently. The term “two-way” is to describe the bending behavior of the slab in

What is a floor slab and why detailing is required for a slab?
Yes floor slab, we normally don’t give so much attention to design a floor slab. Floor slab is also called as base slab. But in some cases the floor slab
Steps involved in design of a two way slab | IS 456: 2000?
Designing a two-way slab according to the guidelines set forth in IS 456:2000 is a crucial skill for civil engineers and aspiring students in the field of structural engineering. Two-way
What is the difference between one way and two way slabs ?
Slabs are one of the important structural element of a building. It helps to transfer the various floor loads to the beam, then through columns , last to foundation of
How do we know whether a two way slab is continuous or discontinuous along its edges?
A continuous edge means that the slab can transfer the load to the adjacent slab through that edge. Consider the above L shape building with three slabs cast monolithically (this is important
