4.1 INTRODUCTION
A slab is like a flat plate loaded transversely and supported on its edges. Under the loads, it bends and the directions of its bending depend on its shape and support conditions. A beam bends only in one direction, i.e. in its own plane; whereas a slab may have multidirectional bending. Therefore, slabs may have different names depending upon its bending, support conditions and shapes. For example, a slab may be called
(a) One-way simply supported rectangular slab,
(b) Two-way simply supported or restrained rectangular slab, (c) Cantilever rectangular slab,
(d) Fixed or simply supported circular slab, etc.
One-way slab means it bends only in one direction and, therefore, reinforcement for bending (i.e. main reinforcement) is provided only in that direction. A slab supported on all sides bends in all the directions so the main reinforcements provided shall be such that they may be effective in all directions. For ease of analysis and convenience of reinforcement detailing, the bending moments in a slab are calculated in two principal directions only and, therefore, such a slab is called a two-way slab.
A slab is designed as a beam of unit width in the direction of bending. In this unit, only the most commonly used rectangular slabs, with uniformly distributed load is described.

4.2 GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN AND
DETAILING OF SLABS
Following are the general principles for design and detailing applicable to all types of slabs.
(a) The maximum diameter of reinforcing bars shall not exceed 8 1
th of total thickness (D) of the slab.
(b) Normally, shear reinforcement is not provided in slabs. The shear resistance requirements may, then, be complied either by increasing the percentage of tensile reinforcement or by increasing the depth of slab, but the latter is preferred as it is economical. For solid slabs, the design shear strength for concrete slab shall be τc K, where K has the
values given below :
Overall Depth of Slab (mm) 300 or more 275 250 225 200 175 150 less or K 1.00 1.05 1.10 1.15 1.20 1.25 1.30 (c) To take care of temperature and shrinkage stresses, minimum
reinforcement in either direction shall not be less than 0.15 percent and 0.12 percent of total cross section area of concrete section for mild steel and high strength deformed bars, respectively.
(d) To meet the requirement for limit state of cracking the following two rules are observed:
(i) The horizontal distance between parallel main
reinforcement shall not be more than 3 times the effective depth of slab or 300 mm whichever is smaller.
(ii) The horizontal distance between parallel bars provided against temperature and shrinkage shall not be more than 5 d or 450 mm, whichever is smaller.
4.3 DESIGN AND DETAILING OF CANTILEVER
SLABS
Design and detailing of a cantilever slab is the same as that of a cantilever beam (Section 3.3) of unit width. Temperature and shrinkage reinforcement is provided along the direction perpendicular to the span. This is illustrated through the following example.
Example 4.1
Design the cantilever slab of a bus stand shown in Figure 4.1. Load data and design parameters are given below :
Load Data
Lime terrace topping of 100 mm thickness is provided over the slab. Imposed load = 0.75 kN/m2.

As Ast, min (= 618 mm2) is more than 50% of Ast (742.857 mm2/m) provided,

Design and Detailing of One-way Slab Simply Supported on all Edges If the ratio 2 span Short span Long > x y l l ,
the design is same as that for simply supported beam of unit width, as the slab bends mainly along the short span (Figure 4.3). Only temperature and shrinkage reinforcement is provided along the long span.

4.5 DESIGN AND DETAILING OF TWO-WAY*
SIMPLY SUPPORTED SLABS
* Two-way Slab means the slab bends about both the axes x and y like a saucer (Figure 4.6).
For a rectangular slab, simply supported on all its edges, having no provisions to resist torsion at corners and to prevent corners from lifting, the maximum bending moment per unit width are calculated by the following equations :
2 x x x wl M =α and 2 x y y wl M =α
where w = Design loads per unit area and lx and ly = Short and Long spans,
respectively, Mx and My = moments of strips of unit width spanning lx and ly,
respectively and αx andαy are the coefficients given in Table 4.1.

, the slab will be treated as one-way and designed as in Section 4.4.
At least 50% of the reinforcement provided at mid span shall extend into the supports and the remaining 50% may extend to within 0.1 lx or 0.1 ly of support as
appropriate.
The other specifications for design and detailing for the slab are the same as those for simply supported beams (Section 3.2).

4.6 DESIGN AND DETAILING OF TWO-WAY
RESTRAINED SLABS
A rectangular slab supported on beams on all sides and monolithically cast with them and having
2 ≤ x y l l
behaves as a two-way slab. Being monolithic with the beams, the corners are prevented from lifting and, therefore, torsional reinforcements are provided to resist the resultant torsional moments. Main reinforcements are provided along both the principal axes to resist corresponding moments Mx and My, respectively.
Detailing of reinforcement is done in the following manner :
(a) A slab is divided in edge strips and a middle strip in both directions as shown in Figure 4.7.
Figure 4.7 : Division of Slab into Middle and Edge Strips
(b) The maximum moments Mx and My both for spans and supports are
determined as 2 x x x wl M =α and 2 x y y wl M =α
The values of αx and αy for different edge conditions are given in Table 4.2.

4.7 SUMMARY
Four types of slab have been described in this unit : (a) Cantilever slab
(b) One-way simply supported slab (c) Two-way simply supported slab (d) Two-way restrained slab
Cantilever Slab
This type of rectangular slab has one edge fixed and the other three edges free. Therefore, under gravity loads, it bends about its axis of support causing hogging bending moment and requiring main reinforcement only on top face perpendicular to its support axis.
One-way Simply Supported Slab
This type of slab may be either simply supported on two opposite faces or, if supported on all four edges the ratio > 2
x y
l l
. Therefore, under gravity loads, it bends only in one direction.
Two-way Simply Supported Slab
A slab simply supported on all its four edges having ≤ 2 x y
l l
, bends about both of its principal axes under gravity loads. Hence, main reinforcements are provided in both directions.
Two-way Restrained Slab When a slab ⎟⎟ ⎠ ⎞ ⎜⎜ ⎝ ⎛ ≤ 2 x y l l
is monolithic with its supporting beams and the corners are prevented from lifting under bending, additional reinforcements are provided at the corners to resist torsion. Hogging bending moments at the supports are taken care of by providing reinforcement at the top face.
