6.1.

Design of Slabs
The load acting on slab are categorized into dead load and live load. Dead load includes
mainly its self-weight and floor finish while the Live Loads are the loads coming from
movable objects such as Humans, Chair, Table etc.
If Ly/Lx < 2, two way slab
Ly/Lx < 2, One way slab
Where Ly & Lx are the larger and smaller dimension of slab
Slab panels that deform with significant curvatures in two orthogonal directions must be
designed as two-way slabs, with the principal reinforcement placed in the two directions
while 'one-way' action may be assumed when the predominant mode of flexure is in one
direction alone.
Slabs are considered as divided in each direction into middle strips and edge strips as shown
in figure being the middle strip being three-quarters of the width and each edge strip one-
eight of the width.
