One Way Ribbed (joist) slabs;

 Ribbed slabs are more economical than solid slabs for long spans;
 Two principal methods of construction are;-
A. Ribbed slabs without permanent blocks.
B. Ribbed slabs with hollow or solid blocks.

 The main advantage of using hollow blocks is the reduction in weight by

removing the part of concrete below the neutral axis.

The ACI Code limitations

 For the total depth ( rib+slab =h )will using the same table for beam control

Notes

 The clear cover in ribs = 20𝑚𝑚

 The main girder should be placed
perpendicular on the rib direction
when the length of the rib is greater
than six meters 𝐿 > 6𝑚
