 Introduction
• Sloping slab is not a common structure because of its typical formwork
and expensiveness.
• In countries where there is heavy snowfall, sloping slab is adopted so that
snow can slide easily due to its sloping pattern.
• But in India it is constructed rarely due to less snow fall, typical form
work, requirement of skilled labor and its expensiveness.
 Design criteria
• The design of a slab depends on the maximum positive and negative bending
moments within the slab.
• These depend on the shape and size of the slab, location and type of supports (fixed,
simple support, free etc.) and the loads acting on it.
• One way to estimate the maximum positive and negative bending moments is by
using the Yield Line method.
• There are simple rules you can use to assume the yield line pattern and based on
this, you can estimate the design forces. In addition, you must also estimate the
shear force at the supports from the yield line analysis.
• The next step of deciding required slab thickness and reinforcement is the same as
for any other shape of slab.
• Lets take a look at the basics:
• In a RCC framed structure, all the loads are taken by a slab which in turn transferred to a
beam. Beam transfers this load to column.
• Now, an ordinary beam itself becomes an inverted beam if the flange of the slab gets
supported in the tension zone of the beam if it is simply supported beam or in the compression
zone of the cantilever beam.
• Please observe the above illustration from a typical
working drawing of inverted beam used in a continuous
supports.
• Since the column reinforcement does not continue
to a floor above, therefore needs to be anchored
together with the beam’s inclined reinforcement.
• Similarly at the end column too, you can provide
proper anchorage(development length) by bending
the top reinforcement into the column.
