POST SLAB ALSO KNOWN AS BEAMLESS THE R.C.C SLAB SUPPORTED ON

COLUMNS WITHOUTTHE AGENCY 0F BEAMS OR GIRDERS . THE SLAB IS BUILT
MONOLITHICALLY WITH THE SUPPORTING COLUMNS . WHICH ARE ARRANGED
IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THEY FORM SQUARE OR EARLY SQUARE PANELS .
 POST - SLAB STRUCTURAL SYSTEM :

POST - SLAB STRUCTURE CONTAIN TWO ELEMENTS.

- HORIZONTAL ELEMENT IS THE ROOF.

- VERTICAL ELEMENTS ARE THE POST.

THE LOAD TRANSFERRING MECHANISM IS POINTED

& THE ROOF TRANSFERS THE LOAD TO THE GROUND
THROUGH THE COLUMNS. HERE THE WHOLE SLAB
ACTS LIKE A BEAM.

FREE PLAN ORGANIZATION :

IN THIS TYPE OF STRUCTURE THE DESIGNER
HAS THE FREEDOM OF MAKING DIFFERENT
PLANS IN DIFFERENT LEVELS, AS THE WALLS
ARE NO LONGER LOAD BEARING. SO A
FREE PLAN ORGANIZATION CAN BE DEV-
ELOPED.
 THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF POST SLAB

 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
FLAT POST SLAB
FLAT POST SLAB IS A MONOLATHIC STRUCTURE
IN POST SLAB .

A flat plate is a concrete slab of uniform

thickness reinforcement in two direction
supported by column without beams.

Tensile reinforcement

SLAB DEPTH :5”to 12”(150 to 305)

typical slab depth :span/33

SUITABLE SPAN : for relatively heavy

loads and spans from 20’ to 24’
FLAT POST SLAB
 FLAT WITH DROP POST SLAB
WHERE THE COLUMN IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR BEAR THE LOAD,THERE USE
DROPSLAB. AT FIRST LOAD DISTRIBUTEDIN DROP SLAB THEN IT DISTRIBUTE
LOAD INTO COLUMN.

A flat slab is a flat plate thickened at its column

supports to increase its shear strength and mo-
ment resisting capacity.

Tensile reinforcement

SLAB DEPTH :6”to 12”(150 to 305)

typical slab depth :span/36

DROP PANEL :Minimum projection of drop panel ;

0.25x slab thickness.

DROP WIDTH :Minimum width of drop panel

;0.33 span .

SUITABLE SPAN : for relatively heavy loads and

FLAT WITH DROP POSTSLAB spans from 20’ to 40’(6 to 12 m)
 EDGE BEAM POST SLAB

EDGE BEAM USE FOR CANTILEVER

PORTION . IN THE GROUND LEVEL
THERE USE OF EDGE BEAM.

EDGE BEAM
POST SLAB

SOME TIMES THIS BEAM USE CONTINUOUSLY

IN DOUBLE HEIGHT.

 REINFORCEMENT SYSTEM OF POST SLAB

1. TWO-WAY SYSTEM ( THE COLUMN STRIP )

2. FOUR WAY SYSTEM ( THE MIDDLE STRIP)

1. REINFORCEMENTS ARE CARRIED MIDDLE STRIP

FROM COLUMN TO COLUMN
PARALLEL TO THE SIDE OF
PANELS & A TWO-WAY SYSTEM
OF BAR IS PLACED IN THE
CENTRAL PORTION OF THE SLAB.

COLUMN STRIP

2. REINFORCEMENT IS PLACED IN FOUR

DIRECTIONS & IT CONSISTS OF TWO
BANDS OF MAIN STEEL BAR CARRISD
DIRRECTLY FROM COLUMN TO COLUMN , &
TWO OTHER BANDS PLACED DIGONALLY
ACROSS THE PANEL FROM COLUMN TO
COLUMN.
 CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES

THERE ARE TWO TECHNIQUES CAN APPLIED IN POST SLAB CONSTRUCTION .

1.PRE-CAST TECHNIQUE

IN PRE CAST TECHNIQUES COLUMNS AND SLABS ARE

PREPARED PREVIOUSLY IN INDUSTRY THEN IT IS JOINT
.
IN CONSTRUCTION SITE
THIS CONSTRUCTION DURATION IS TOO MUCH LESS
THAN ANY OTHER SYSTEM.

2.MANUAL WAY
IN MANUAL CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM, COLUMN IS
BUILT ON THE .BASEMENT THAN SLAB BUILD.

PRE-CAST TECHNOLOGY IS PRACTISED RARELY

BUT MANUAL SYSTEM IS PRACTISED AVAILABLE
IN OUR COUNTRY
FOUNDATION SYSTEM AND MATERIALS

DEEP FOUNDATION :
DEEP FOUNDATION EXTEND DOWN THROUGH
UNSUITABLE OR UNSTABLE SOIL TO TRANSFER
LOAD BELOW THE SUPERSTRUTURE.

TWO TYPES OF DEEP FOUNDATION :

1. PILE FOUNDATION

2. CAISSON FOUNDATION
PILE FOUNDATION
THERE ARE MANY SYSTEMS OF PILE FOUNDATION :

1.TIMBER PILES
2. COMPOSITE PILE
3. H-PILE
4. PIPE PILE
5.PRECAST CONCRETE PILE

POLE FOUNDATION

EQUATION OF POST SLAB THICKNESS

POST SLAB THICKNESS SHOULD BE MINIMUM 5” & MAXIMUM 12” .

CANTILEVER SLAB THICKNESS :

CANTILEVER SPAN MAXIMUM : 5’- 8’ (FOR LIVE LOAD)

12’ (FOR DEAD LOAD)

ECONOMICAL SPAN : COLUMN TO COLUMN DISTANCE 24’-0”

CONSIDERATION OF PUNCH IN POST SLAB

PUNCH :

L / 4 - DISTANCE MIDDLE STRIP SHOULD

BE PUNCH
WAFFLE STRUCTURE
IT IS ALSO ONE KIND OF POST SLAB STRUCTURE.

Two – Way Waffle Slab

A waffle slab is a two-way concrete
slab reinforced by ribs in two
directions. Waffle slabs are able to
carry heavier loads and span longer
distances than flat slabs
Tensile reinforcement
SLAB DEPTH :3”to 4-1/2”(75to 115)
rule of thumb for total depth :span / 24
5”or 6”(125 or 150)rib width

SUITABLE SPAN : Suitable for spans of 24’to 54’(7to

16m);longer spans may be possible with posttensioning .
BAY SIZE :
For maximum efficiency ,bays should be square or neatly square as
possible .
BEAM USE : IN STAIR

TO BEAR THE LOAD OF STAIR

THERE MUST BE PROVIDE BEAM.
ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE OF POST SLAB DESIGN
ADVANTAGE OF POST SLAB
1) This slab mainly used by commercial heavy construction project.
2) This is the Beamless Monolithic Structure.
3) Saving in the Storey Height.
4) Better Lighting & Facilities are available.
5) Better workable at HVAC system.
6) Easily rearrangement of interior & smoothly uses of exterior
curtain wall.
7) Comparatively save the time schedule.
8) Designer easily setup the opening and it is visually comfortable.
DISADVANTAGE OF POST SLAB
1. This slab is beamless so, it is risky for earthquake.
2. It is strictly maintain by grid system.
3. Organic muss handling not easy.
4. Difficult for set-back .
5. Mostly used by false ceiling.
6. Comparatively costly.
 DOM-INO HOUSE
THIS TIME WAS 1914, ARCHITECT LE CORBUSIER PRODUCT SEVERAL NEW FORMATS FOR HOUSES,
OF WHICH THE MOST IMPORTANT WAS HIS SO CALLED DOM-INO HOUSES.

CHARACTERISTICS OF DOM-INO HOUSES:

- DOM-INO WAS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE
HOUSES.

- THE FLOOR SLABS AS PRIMARY DOMINO LIKE UNITS

FLOATING ON SIX FREE STANDING POSTS.

-IT WAS FORMED FROM THREE RECTANGULAR

HORIZONTAL SLABS SUPPORTED ON SIX SLENDER
STANCHIONS.

- EACH SQUARE PLAN.

- THE BOTTOM SLAB WAS ON BLOCKS.

- THERE WERE NO CAPITAL OR BEAMS.

- THE STRUCTURE WAS THUS FREE OF TRABEATED

RIGIDITY.

6. ITS CALLED A “CONSTRUCTION SPRITUALLE”.
7. THE HOUSE OPEN TO LIGHT, SUN & VIEWS

8. THE BUILDING APPROCH IS BY CAR.

CASE STUDY
LE CORBUSIER

SHODAN HOUSE:
This superb Indian house designed by Le
Corbusier has the appearance of some
sort of three-dimensional mathematical
puzzle.

RELATION WITH SPACE

The machine age polemic to a more primal
relationship between man and his living space.

SOLID VOID RELATIONSHIP

The structural concrete frame allows an openness
in both plan and section, creating spaces prescribed
only by one’s movement through them via such
connecting devices as the horizontally biased
architectural promenade.

FAÇADE TREATMENT
From the roughness and randomness of the imprinted wood
form work,to the complexity and infinite perceptionsof spaces,
SHODAN HOUSE, AHMEDABAD,1952-1956

INTERIOR ORGANIZATION
Through the absence of interior partitions, Le Corbusier was able to bring natural
light into the certain spaces as an architectural material. This, along with the
free passage of the warm Indian breeze created a tactile and ever-changing
Environment with a strong connection to the natural site. In effect, the Villa’s
openness is its most tangible trait.
