1) The construction of a slab involves building beams, installing centering and shuttering, laying steel reinforcement in a grid pattern, pouring concrete, and curing. 2) Key steps include constructing beams, erecting temporary supports called centering, installing plywood or metal shuttering, assembling a steel grid from main and distribution bars, pouring and compacting concrete, and curing the slab for at least 21 days before removing supports. 3) Reinforcement is placed in a grid pattern with main steel bars parallel to the longer span and distribution bars parallel to the shorter span, using bar diameters of 6-16mm and maintaining a clear cover of typically 15mm over the reinforcement.

 a large, thick, flat piece of stone or
concrete, typically square or rectangular
in shape.

7. construction stages of slab
• Construction of beam
• centering
• Shuttering
• Steel grid
1) main steel
2) distribution steel
• Concreting
• Curing

8. Day-1
•It helps to
support the
slab from
either two or
all sides
•Construction of
beam is basic
necessity of slab.
Construction of beam

9. Centering
•The temporary support provided to the formwork for supporting
components parts of slab is called centering
Day-2

10. Calculation process
 Effective depth of slab= span/depth.
 Example:
fcu=25 N/mm^2
fy=250 N/mm^2
1 m wide strips of 3 m clear span
effective depth must not less than =
3000/20*1.5=100mm
depth modification factor=1.5
Overall depth of slab=100+cover of
20+6*(1/2 bar dia)=126( ~130 mm)

12. Shuttering
•It is the term used for
temporary timber
plywood metal or other
material used to
provide support to wet
concrete mix till it gets
strength for self support
to slab.
Day-3

13. Reinforcement in Slab
 Slab
reinforcement
includes straight
bar , cranked bar
 Extra tops near
the supports
 Mainly 1.5 " clear
cover is
maintained
 CC blocks are
used
Clear cover

14. Provide reinforcement
•First of all a steel grid is made of distribution steel and main steel.
•From which, main steel is shorter member and distribution steel
is larger one.
•Main steel: in one way slab main reinforcement is parallel to longer
and the reinforcement parallel to shorter is known as main steel.
• Distribution steel: in one way slab main reinforcement is parallel
to shorter and the reinforcement parallel to longer is known as
distribution steel.
•The diameter
of bar generally
used in slabs
are: 6 mm, 8
mm, 10 mm,
12 mm and
16 mm.

16.  After reinforcement the slab gains the
thickness of 15 cm. the thickness of slab is
decided as per IS codes.
 Generally 15 mm to 20 mm cover is provided
for the main reinforcements.

 Compaction is
done with
Patta

18. Curing and Removal of
Formwork
 Curing : It is
done for 21 days
 Removal of
Formwork: After
21 days
formwork is
removed
Day-8

19. Curing:
 Final curing shall be done by ponding and
stacking water for minimum period of 7
days
