When the slab is supported on all four sides and the length is less than twice
the width, the slab will deflect in two directions, and the loads on the slab are
transferred to all four supports. This slab is referred to as a two-way slab.
The bending moments and deflections in such slabs are less than those in
one-way slabs; thus, the same slab can carry more load when supported on
four sides.
The load in this case is carried in two directions, and the bending moment in
each direction is much less than the bending moment in the slab if the load
were carried in one direction only. [5]
