Minimum thickness for two way slab construction designed as per methods provided by ACI 318-11 Code namely, direct design method and equivalent frame method.
Flat Slab – Types of Flat Slab Design and its Advantages
Flat slab is a reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete columns without use beams. Types of flat slabs, its design and advantages described.
Bubble Deck Slab – Types, Material Specification, Installation, and Advantages
Bubble deck slab is a hollow, flat slab that spans in two directions, in which plastic balls are incorporated to replace, and therefore eliminate the concrete in the middle of a conventional slab which does not contribute to its structural ...
STRENGTHENING TECHNIQUES- R.C. SLAB
Many strengthening techniques are available depending on the purpose needed from strengthening. Some of those techniques are explained in details in the following sections. Why do we strengthen or retrofit buildings? Increase in the applied loads. Mistakes or unsafe design. ...
Reinforced Concrete Slab Design Guidelines
Basics of Reinforced Concrete Slab Design Slabs are generally designed on the assumption that they consists of a number of beams of breadth ‘one meter’. 1. Effective Span of Slab The effective span of a simply supported slab shall be ...
