4.1 INTRODUCTION
A slab is like a flat plate loaded transversely and supported on its edges. Under the loads, it bends and the directions of its bending depend on its shape and support conditions. A beam bends only in one direction, i.e. in its own plane; whereas a slab may have multidirectional bending. Therefore, slabs may have different names depending upon its bending, support conditions and shapes. For example, a slab may be called (a) (b) (c) (d) One-way simply supported rectangular slab, Two-way simply supported or restrained rectangular slab, Cantilever rectangular slab, Fixed or simply supported circular slab, etc.
One-way slab means it bends only in one direction and, therefore, reinforcement for bending (i.e. main reinforcement) is provided only in that direction. A slab supported on all sides bends in all the directions so the main reinforcements provided shall be such that they may be effective in all directions. For ease of analysis and convenience of reinforcement detailing, the bending moments in a slab are calculated in two principal directions only and, therefore, such a slab is called a two-way slab. A slab is designed as a beam of unit width in the direction of bending. In this unit, only the most commonly used rectangular slabs, with uniformly distributed load is described.
Objectives
After studying this unit, you should be able to describe the design and detailing of cantilever slabs, design and explain detailing of one-way and two-way simply supported slabs, and explain the design and detailing of two-way restrained slabs. 75

total thickness (D) of the slab. (b) Normally, shear reinforcement is not provided in slabs. The shear resistance requirements may, then, be complied either by increasing the percentage of tensile reinforcement or by increasing the depth of slab, but the latter is preferred as it is economical. For solid slabs, the design shear strength for concrete slab shall be c K, where K has the values given below :

To take care of temperature and shrinkage stresses, minimum reinforcement in either direction shall not be less than 0.15 percent and 0.12 percent of total cross section area of concrete section for mild steel and high strength deformed bars, respectively. To meet the requirement for limit state of cracking the following two rules are observed: (i) The horizontal distance between parallel main reinforcement shall not be more than 3 times the effective depth of slab or 300 mm whichever is smaller. The horizontal distance between parallel bars provided against temperature and shrinkage shall not be more than 5 d or 450 mm, whichever is smaller.

behaves as a two-way slab. Being monolithic with the beams, the corners are prevented from lifting and, therefore, torsional reinforcements are provided to resist the resultant torsional moments. Main reinforcements are provided along both the principal axes to resist corresponding moments Mx and My, respectively. Detailing of reinforcement is done in the following manner : (a) A slab is divided in edge strips and a middle strip in both directions as shown in Figure 4.7.

Over the continuous edge of the middle strip, tension reinforcement shall extend in the upper part of the slab a distance equal to 0.15 l from the support and at least 50% shall extend a distance of 0.3 l (Figure 4.8). At discontinuous edge, tension reinforcement equal to 50% of that provided at mid-span shall extend 0.1 l from the support (Figure 4.8). Minimum reinforcement in edge strip shall be sufficient (Figure 4.7). Torsion reinforcement at corners are provided as follows (Figure 4.9). (i) Where corners are bound by discontinuous edges, torsion reinforcement both at top and bottom and in both directions equal to 3/4th the area of short span reinforcement and of length lx/5 shall be provided. (ii) If the corner is bound by continuous edge on one side and discontinuous on the other, half of the area of reinforcement that prescribed in (a) shall be provided.

4.7 SUMMARY
Four types of slab have been described in this unit : (a) (b) (c) (d) Cantilever slab One-way simply supported slab Two-way simply supported slab Two-way restrained slab
Cantilever Slab
This type of rectangular slab has one edge fixed and the other three edges free. Therefore, under gravity loads, it bends about its axis of support causing hogging bending moment and requiring main reinforcement only on top face perpendicular to its support axis.
One-way Simply Supported Slab
This type of slab may be either simply supported on two opposite faces or, if supported on all four edges the ratio loads, it bends only in one direction.
Two-way Simply Supported Slab
