As part of a structural frame, these concrete slabs transfer weight onto columns and walls.

Conventional slabs can be divided into two distinct types based on their span to depth ratio: single-beam slabs that transfer loads in both directions are known as one-way slabs while those supported by four beams across all four sides transferring these loads are two-way slabs.

Durability

Concrete can be made more durable by adding steel reinforcements, which increases tensile strength. These metal strands are typically interwoven throughout the concrete structure as reinforcement. Achieving greater strength …
