INTRODUCTION One-Way Slabs

One-way solid slabs are extensively used in buildings,

 Reinforced concrete slabs are used in floors, roofs
and as decks of bridges.
 Slabs may span in one direction or in two directions,
depending on the dimensions and the surrounding
supporting conditions.
 Slabs spanning in one direction are referred to as
one-way slabs while those spanning in two directions
are referred to as two-way slabs.
especially for spans less than 4 meters. To be classified
as a one-way slab, the ratio of long side to the short side
of the slab panel must exceed 2. They are referred to as
one-way slabs because the bending is mainly in short
direction.

Continuous one way slab The slab thickness should not be less than 80 mm for slabs subjected to static
loads and 120 mm for slabs subjected to dynamic loads.

Loads Bending Moments (Case of equal spans)

Before calculating bending moments on one way solid slabs we had to For slabs with two spans:
calculate the acting loads:

g  ts   c  F .C kN/m2 Wu  L2eff
Dead Load Mu 

Live Load p  given kN/m2 Values of “k”
