    Flat Slab

    Two-way slabs are supported by beams which transfer the load to columns, while flat slabs are supported directly by columns without beams. Flat slabs have higher deflection and require thicker sections and more reinforcement at column connections to resist punching shear as the load is transferred directly to the columns.

    what is the difference between two way slab and flat slab?

    Question what is the benifits of flat slab?


    2 way slab are placed on beams.in 2way slab load is
    tranfered to beam 1st then to the columns.its more rigid.may
    Answer be its depth small.
    #1 in flat slab the beam is placed on only columns.deflection
    be more.load is directly transferred 2 the columns
    the difference between two way slabs and flat slabs are
    load tranfer and resting of slabs.

    In two way slabs the slabs are resting on T-Beams and the
    Answer slab load transfer to the beams and then in to the columns.
    #2
    Flat slabs means A concrete slab which is reinforced in two
    or more directions, usually without beams or girders to
    transfer the loads to supporting members.
    1-In two way slab, the slab is supported by beams, the load
    of both slab and beams is conveyed to columns and footings.
    Flat slab, or more accurately flat plate the slab is
    supported by columns, no beams to be used.
    2-In two way slab,shear is critical in beams and considered
    in slab.
    In flat slab, the shear is very critical at the area of
    Answer connection of slab with column (called punching shear).
    #3 here the column due to load is trying to punch through the
    slab and we need the slab to be thickened ( by using Caps)
    and/ or heavily reinforced to resist this shear.
    3-In two way slab, due to (drop) beams, some of the floor
    height is lost (we need more height for different piping
    installations.
    In flat slab, we don't have this problem because we don't
    have drop beams
    1-In two way slab, the slab is supported by beams, the load
    of both slab and beams is conveyed to columns and footings.
    Answer Flat slab, or more accurately flat plate the slab is
    #4 supported by columns, no beams to be used.
    2-In two way slab,shear is critical in beams and considered
    in slab.
    In two way slab, the slab is supported by beams, the load
    of both slab and beams is conveyed to columns and footings.
    Flat slab, or more accurately flat plate the slab is
    supported by columns, no beams to be used.
    Answer In flat slab, the shear is very critical at the area of
    #5 connection of slab with column (called punching shear).
    here the column due to load is trying to punch through the
    slab and we need the slab to be thickened ( by using Caps)
    and/ or heavily reinforced to resist this shear.
