One-Way & Two-Way Slabs

(1) One-Ways Slabs

Following are some of the important Factors and criteria regarding One-Way Slabs:

Length to Width ratio of the slab should be equal or more than 2 (L/W >= 2)
Load Transfer in One direction (in short direction)
Beams are provided in one direction (along the length)
Main-Bars are provide in short direction because it is the load carrying rebars while the Temperature/Distribution Bars is used in long direction to just cater the unwanted stresses due to temperature or shrinkage.

(2) Two-Way Slabs

Following are some of the important Factors and criteria regarding One-Way Slabs:

Length to Width ratio of the slab should be less than 2 (L/W < 2)
Load Transfer in both direction ( That’s why its called Two-Way Slab)
Beams are provided in both direction.
Main-Bars are provide in both direction because loads are transfer in both direction due to it geometry.

Why Civil-Ideas.com

The sole purpose and our main Motto of this Website and all the linked social media sites here are to facilitate, motivate and guide all the Civil Engineers in their studies and careers. All the publications here (civil-ideas) to linked the civil Engineers to the industries where they can apply all their Academics knowledge they have to the construction industries, so that they can revolutionized the field of civil Engineering. This Website and all the linked social media sites here will made you understand the concepts and Real Science behind the Civil Engineering phenomena you may come across everyday life. Our aim to explain and demonstrate things in the simplest, interesting and in innovative way so that no one get bored anymore in the field of Civil Engineering. Certainly Civil Engineering is full of opportunities to Research, Renovate and build structures and communities that can serve upto thousand of years. This is the field where real structures build, that's why the construction business called a real estate. You can contribute and well be honoured by just comments your great thoughts here.
