Which is better one way or two way slab?
The one-way slab is economical up to a span of 3.6 meters. Whereas the two-way slab is economical for the panel sizes up to 6m × 6m. In one-way slab quantity of steel is less. In two-way slab quantity of steel is more as compared to the one-way slab.
What is the advantages of two way slab?
Advantages of Two Way Slab: Do not obstruct the reflection of light. The height of the room is more available in this slab. In this slab, a flat ceiling is available because in the middle of the cell there is no beam. Increases the beauty of the room.
Which is best slab?
The best cement for slab used in construction is OPC- 53 (Ordinary Portland cement grade 53) and PPC (Portland pozzolana cement) brand of UltraTech Cement, ACC Cement, Ambuja Cement, Sagar cement, Dalmia Cement, Shri cement, Birla cement, etc. These cement brands offer & good deals.
What is a two way flat slab?
The two-way flat plate slab is simply a slab of uniform thickness directly supported on columns, and it is generally suitable for relatively light loads. Often, beams are provided at the periphery of the slab to stiffen the free edges and to support the brick walls. They are not recommended in earthquake zones.
What is one way slab in civil engineering?
The one-way slab is a slab, which is supported by parallel walls or beams, and whose length to breadth ratio is equal to or greater than two and it bends in only one direction (spanning direction) while it is transferring the loads to the two supporting walls or beams, because of its geometry.
Which type of cement is best for slab?
Both OPC and PPC cements are good for construction of concrete slab. OPC is the most commonly used cement in industrial and large construction, PPC is most commonly used for small residential constructions. PPC is used where possibilities of sulphate attack is higher as it has good sulphate resistance compared to OPC.
What is a two-way slab?
The two-way slab is a slab which is generally supported on all sides of walls or beams, and whose length to breadth ratio is less than two and it twists or bends in both direction while transferring the loads to the walls or beams.
What is a two way concrete slab?
Two-way slabs are slabs that are supported on four sides. In two-way slabs, the load will be carried in both directions, thus main reinforcement is provided in both directions for two-way slabs. The slabs are considered as spanning two-way when the longer to shorter span length is less than a ratio of two.
