    Types of Two-way Slabs

     Flat Slabs:
     A flat slab, reinforced in two directions, usually does not
    have beams or girders, and the loads are transferred
    directly to the supporting columns.
     The column tends to punch through
    the slab, which is achieved by:
     Using a drop panel and a column
    capital
     Using a drop panel without a column capital Figure: Flat Slab
     Using a column capital without drop panel, not common in use

    One-way and Two-way Slabs

    One-way slab is supported by Two-way slab is supported by


    beams in only two sides. beams in all four sides.

     Flat Plates:  Two-way Waffle Slab:


     A flat-plate is a two-way slab consisting of a uniform slab  This is the type of slab which is supported by ribs in both
    that rests directly on columns and does not have beams or directions without supporting beams and rest directly on
    column capitals columns through solid panels above the columns.

    Problem on Two-way Slabs

     Ex #1: A floor system consists of four panels by four


    panels in plan. The floor system is a reinforced concrete
    flat-plate construction with no edge beams. The
    dimensions of the end panels as well as the size of the
    supporting columns are shown in the figure. Using the ACI
    Code equations, determine the minimum slab thickness
    required for interior and corner panels. Use normal weight
    concrete with fcʹ = 4 ksi and fy = 60 ksi.

    And for interior panel, the minimum thickness will be


    24 ft – 20/2 in. – 20/2 in.
    =
    33
    24 x 12 in. – 10 in. – 10 in.
    =
    33
    268 in.
    = = 8.12 in. ≈ 8.5 in.
    33
    Now since it is common practice to use the same slab
    thickness for all exterior and interior panels. Thus, a
    thickness of 9 in. may be adopted.
