Download Solution PDFExplanation:
- In a one-way slab, the main reinforcement is provided in the shorter span direction (the direction in which the slab bends the most).
- This is because in a one-way slab, the bending occurs primarily along the shorter span, and the slab acts like a beam spanning in one direction.
- Therefore, the bottom reinforcement is placed in the direction of the shorter span to resist the bending.
Additional InformationOne-Way Slab:
-
Load Distribution: Loads are carried in one direction (along the shorter span).
-
Reinforcement: Main reinforcement is provided in the shorter span direction (bottom reinforcement).
-
Support: Supported by beams or walls on opposite sides, typically on all four edges.
-
Shape: Slab is longer in one direction, and the other direction is much shorter (like a rectangular slab).
-
Usage: Common in smaller structures, floors of residential buildings, and simple slabs with longer spans in one direction.
Two-Way Slab:
-
Load Distribution: Loads are carried in both directions (along both spans).
-
Reinforcement: Main reinforcement is provided in both directions, with bottom reinforcement generally in both the shorter and longer spans.
-
Support: Supported on all four edges, with the slab bending in both directions.
-
Shape: The length and width of the slab are relatively equal (square or nearly square).
-
Usage: Common in large structures, such as commercial buildings, parking garages, and large floor areas.
