    This document provides steps for analyzing and designing a flat slab structure in 2-way slab support on a column directly. It includes calculating slab thickness factors, defining materials, assigning loads, mesh reinforcement, punching shear checks, designing reinforcement strips, and checking deflection limits. Drop panels and drop capitals of varying sizes are analyzed as solutions to pass punching shear checks. The optimal sizes determined are a 1.2m x 1.2m x 0.25m thick drop panel and a 1.3m x 1.3m x 0.6m thick drop capital. Alternative solutions combining drop panels and drop capitals are also considered. Templates are provided for flat slab and flat slab with perimeter beams designs.
