This document explains the differences between one way and two way slabs in construction, detailing their uses and reinforcement techniques. One way slabs are primarily supported on beams along their longer side, while two way slabs distribute loads in both directions. The text also provides reinforcement details and applications for each type of slab.

4. What is One Way Slab?
In easier worlds one way slab are spanned in shorter side means
supported on the beams of longer side as shown in figure above. Because
of much greater length, longer side i.e.longer beam, carries most of the
loads compared to shorter side.

5. Where is one way slab used?
Generally one way slabs are used where longer
side is too longer than shorter side that is
waranda's.

6. One way slab reinforcement details
You can notice that alternate main reinforcement bars are bent-up near
supports at a distance of 0.1L from support, as per Clause D-1.6 of code,
to resist tension that can appear because of partial fixity of support.

8. What is Two Way Slab?
In two way slab as the floor load transferred in both directions, the flexural
reinforcement has to be designed in both directions.
