A one-way slab is a type of concrete slab in which loads are transferred in one direction to the supporting beams and columns. Therefore, the bending occurs in only one direction. The design of a one-way slab is simple and can be carried out easily. The ACI 318-19 provides a number of requirements regarding slab thickness, concrete cover, and reinforcement ratio which facilitate the design process. For instance, the ACI 318-19 specifies a minimum slab thickness that satisfies deflection.
The designer can select a smaller slab thickness but needs to check deflection of the slab to make sure that it does not exceed maximum allowable deflection. The procedure of designing a one-way slab is similar to that of a rectangular beam.
Slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced concrete slab is a broad, flat plate, usually horizontal, with top and bottom surfaces parallel or nearly so. Slabs may be supported by reinforced concrete beams, masonry or reinforced concrete walls, structural steel members, columns, and continuously by the ground.
The objective of this course is to assist professional engineers in understanding the analysis, and design of one-way concrete slabs as per ACI 318-19 code.
