Slab Reinforcement:

Reinforcement detailing of slab is based on its support conditions. Slab may be supported on walls or beams or columns. If Slab supported on two sides and bending takes place in only one direction is called One Way slab. On the other way, when slab is supported on all four sides and bending takes place in two directions are said to be Two way slab.

1.1 Double Layer Slab Reinforcement

The slab having the ratio of longer length to its shorter length (Ly/Lx) greater than 2 is called One way slab. Otherwise it is Two way slab. In one way slab main reinforcement is parallel to shorter direction and the reinforcement parallel to longer direction is called Distribution steel.

1.3 Two Way Slab
