The steps for designing the two-way slab is similar to the one-way slab design. (1) Calculate the Effective depth and effective span. (2) Calculate the total factored load on the slab. (3) Calculate the mid span moment using the formula given in the Indian standard 456-2000 and Pages 90,91. and, check the effective depth for flexure.
Two Way Slab. A slab supported on four adjacent beams with a ratio of longer span to shorter span less than two that carry the load by flexure in both perpendicular directions refers to a two way slab. If the L/B ( Length/width) ratio is less than two, a two way slab is provided.
Two-way slab design by direct design method as per ACI 318-11, step by step procedure and limitations of a direct design method for the two-way slab is presented. Generally, there are two types of slabs which are one-way and two-way slabs.
A two-way slab is a slab that is supported on all its four sides by beams. The supports carry the loads along both directions of the slab. Hence, it is called a two-way slab. If the longer span of the slab is ly and the shorter span is lx, then if it is a two-way slab, ly/lx is less than 2.
Two-Way Slabs 1 1. Inroduction When the ratio (L/S) is less than 2.0, slab is called two-way slab, as shown in the fig. below. Bending will take place in the two directions in a dish-like form. Accordingly, main reinforcement is required in the two directions.
The coefficient method may be the simplest, easiest and the quickest approach for the design of two-way slab supported by edge beam on all slab sides. This method was provided in the American Concrete Institute (ACI) in 1963 to design two-way slabs carried by steel beams, deep beam, or walls.
IS codes provide guidelines and formulas for determining slab thickness, reinforcement layout, and detailing to ensure strength and stability. In this blog, we aim to explore the design process of two-way slabs, offering practical insights and a step-by-step example.
Aug 30, 2021 · 1. Introduction. In two way slab, the ratio of the longer span to the shorter span is less than two. i.e. ( Longer Span/Shorter Span) <2. The load is carried in both directions in a two-way slab. So, the main bars are provided in both directions. Two-way slabs are extensively used in multi-story and commercial buildings. 2. Types of Two Way Slab.

Two way slabs can be divided in following three categories: (1) Slabs, simply supported along four edges with corners free to lift and loaded uniformly. (2) Slabs, simply supported along four edges with corners held down and loaded uniformly. Slabs with edges fixed or continuous and loaded uniformly.
