Aim

• To design a one-way reinforced concrete slab for a given set of loading and design parameters
• To design a two-way reinforced concrete slab to support a given load under specified conditions

Objectives

• To understand the principles of structural design related to one-way slabs
• To determine the design loads including dead load, live load, and other applicable loads
• To calculate the bending moments, shear forces, and deflections in the one-way slab
• To select appropriate reinforcement for the slab based on design criteria
• To sketch the reinforcement layout and detail the reinforcement specifications
• To understand the principles and concepts involved in the design of two-way reinforced concrete slabs
