3.2 Reinforced Concrete Slabs
Slabs are divided into suspended slabs. Suspended slabs may be divided into two
groups:
Figure 3.2-1: One –way slab, two-way slab, ribbed slab, flat slab, solid flat slab with drop
panel, waffle slab
In R.C. Building construction, every floor generally has a beam/slab arrangement and
consists of fixed or continuous one-way slabs supported by main and secondary beams.

Figure 3.2-2: Solid flat slab, solid flat slab with drop panels
The usual arrangement of a slab and beam floor consists of slabs supported on cross-
beams or secondary beams parallel to the longer side and with main reinforcement parallel to
the shorter side. The secondary beams in turn are supported on main beams or girders extending
from column to column. Part of the reinforcement in the continuous is bent up over the support,
or straight bars with bond lengths are placed over the support to give negative bending
moments.
-A flat slab is a reinforced concrete slab supported directly on and built monolithically with the
columns, the flat slab is divided into middle strips and column strips. The size of each strip is
defined using specific rules. The slab may be in uniform thickness supported on simple
columns. These flat slabs may be designed as continuous frames. However, they are normally
designed using an empirical method governed by specified coefficients for bending moments
and other requirements which include the following:
1. There should be not less than three rectangular bays in both longitudinal and transverse
directions.
2. The length of the adjacent bays should not vary by more than 10 %.
The general layout of the reinforcement is based on the both bending moments (in spans) and
bending moments in addition to direct loads (on columns).

To obtain the load effects on the elements of the floor system and its supporting
members using an elastic analysis, the structure may be considered as a series of equivalent
plane frames, each consisting of vertical members – columns, horizontal members - slab.
Such plane frames must be taken both longitudinally (in x-direction) and transversely (in y
direction) in the building, to assure load transfer in both directions.
For gravity load effects, these equivalent plane frames can be further simplified into
continuous beams or partial frames consisting of each floor may be analysed separately together
with the columns immediately above and below, the columns being assumed fixed at their far
ends. Such a procedure is described in the “Equivalent Frame Method”. When frame geometry
and loadings meet certain limitations, the positive and negative factored moments at critical
sections of the slab may be calculated using moment coefficients, termed “Direct Design
Method”. These two methods differ essentially in the manner of determining the longitudinal
distribution of bending moments in the horizontal member between the negative and positive
moment sections. However, the procedure for the lateral distribution of the moments is the same
for both design methods.
Uniform. The procedure generally adopted is to divide the slab into column strips (along the
column lines) and middle strips and then apportion the moment between these strips and the
distribution of the moment within the width of each strip being assumed uniform.
