    The document discusses reinforcement detailing of reinforced concrete slabs. It explains that slabs can be one-way or two-way, depending on support conditions and dimensions. One-way slabs have reinforcement mainly in one direction, while two-way slabs are reinforced in both directions. Additional torsion reinforcement is required at corners of two-way slabs that are restrained from lifting. The document provides guidelines on slab thickness, minimum reinforcement amounts, bar diameters and spacings used in slab reinforcement. Typical reinforcement details are shown in figures, including reinforcement curtailment, cranking and torsion reinforcement.

    Reinforcement Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Slabs

    Gopal Mishra

    4 minutes

    Reinforcement detailing of a slab is done based on its support conditions. Slab may be supported on
    walls or beams or columns. Slab supported directly by columns are called flat slab.

    Slab supported on two sides and bending takes place predominantly in one direction only is called One
    Way Slab. On the other hand, when slab is supported on all four sides and bending take place in two
    directions are said to be Two Way Slab.

    The slabs having ratio of longer length to its shorter length (Ly/Lx) greater than 2 is called one way slab
    otherwise as 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. In two way slab main
    reinforcement is provided along both direction.

    Slabs could be simply supported, continuous or cantilever. In two way slab the corners may be held
    down by restraints or may be allowed to lift up. Additional torsion reinforcement is required at corners
    when it is restrained against uplifting as shown in Fig.1.
    Thickness of the slab is decided based on span to depth ratio specified in IS456-2000. Minimum
    reinforcement is 0.12% for HYSD bars and 0.15% for mild steel bars. The diameter of bar generally used
    in slabs are: 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12mm and 16mm.

    The maximum diameter of bar used in slab should not exceed 1/8 of the total thickness of slab.
    Maximum spacing of main bar is restricted to 3 times effective depth or 300 mm whichever is less. For
    distribution bars the maximum spacing is specified as 5 times the effective depth or 450 mm whichever
    is less.

    Minimum clear cover to reinforcements in slab depends on the durability criteria and this is specified in
    IS 456-200. Generally 15mm to 20mm cover is provided for the main reinforcements. Alternate main
    bars can be cranked near support or could be bent at 1800 at the edge and then extended at the top
    inside the slab as shown in Fig.1. Curtailment and cranking of bars and is shown in Fig. 2.
    Torsion reinforcement shall be provided at any corner where the slab is simply supported on both edges
    meeting at that corner and is prevented from lifting unless the consequences of cracking are negligible.
    It shall consist of top and bottom reinforcement, each with layer of bars placed parallel to the sides of
    the slab and extending from the edges a minimum distance of one fifth of the shorter span.

    The area of reinforcement per unit width in each of these four layers shall be three quarters of the area
    required for the maximum midspan moment per unit width in the slab.

    Torsion reinforcement equal to half that described above shall be provided at a corner contained by
    edges over only one of which the slab is continuous. Torsion reinforcement to be provided is shown in
    Fig. 3 below.
    The drawing showing the detailing of reinforcement has a plan showing typical reinforcement in both
    direction and sectional elevations. Typical detailing of slab is shown in Fig.4 and 5.
