A reinforced slab is a broad, flat plate, usually horizontal, with top and bottom surfaces parallel or nearly
so. Analysis and Design o
It may be supported by reinforced concrete beams (and is usually cast monolithically with such beams),
by masonry or by reinforced concrete walls, by steel structural members, directly by columns, or
continuously by ground.
One-Way Slab
The slab which resists the entire/major part of applied load by bending only in one direction
If slab is supported on all four sides and R = (Shorter side / Longer side) < 0.5 it behaves as one-way
slab. Analysis and Design of Slabs
Slabs having supports on less than four sides can be designed as one-way.
L = Effective Span
Lesser of the following:
L= Ln + h/2 + h/2
= Ln + h
h = depth of slab and
L = c/c distance between supports.

Shrinkage and temperature reinforcement is required at right angle to main reinforcement to minimize
cracking and to tie the structure together to ensure its acting as assumed in design
Top and bottom reinforcements are both effective in controlling the cracks

Example
Design a cantilever projecting out from a room slab extending 1.0m and to be used as balcony (LL = 300
kg/m2). A brick wall of 250 mm thickness including plaster of 1.0m height is provided at the end of cantilever
fc = 17.25 MPa, fy = 300 MPa, Slab thickness of room = 125 mm. Slab bottom steel in the direction of
cantilever is # 13 @ 190 mm c/c. Analysis and Design of Slabs
Solution
Slab Load
Self Weight of Slab = (125/1000)*2400 = 300kg/m2
75 mm brick ballast/ screed = (75/1000)*1800 = 135kg/m2
60 mm floor finishes = (60/1000)*2300 = 138kg/m2
Total dead load = 300+135+138 = 573kg/m2
