TYPES OF RCC SLABS

Third year B.Arch Subject TOS V Prof Hemant Joshi & Asst Prof Sudhir Deshpande
Floor Slab is important part of framing. It ties together all columns.
It also gives stiffness to the frame which do not deflect excessively in case
of horizontal loads.

GOOD FRAMING BAD FRAMING

Free end cantilevers are dangerous in case of EQ.
Code also do not allow Floating Column.

•It is done for the span of 6 to 8 m.
•Supported directly on columns or load bearing walls.
•The principal feature of the flat plate floor is a uniform or near-uniform
thickness with a flat soffit which requires only simple formwork and is easy to
construct.
•The span 'L' of a reinforced concrete flat-plate is approximately D x 28 for
simply supported, D x 30 for an end span of a continuous system, to D x 32
for internal continuous spans.

•Span of 6 to 10 m.
•A reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete columns without
the use of Beams.
•It may have a column head and/or a drop panel to take care of shear.
•When a drop panel or column head is not provided it is also referred to as
flat plate.
•Simple formwork and easy construction.

 Reinf steel is of smaller dia as compared to
Regular slab – beam

Concrete needs to be more workable as it

Has got more surface to covers ( More Fines
In mix )

De-shuttering is done by compressed air

Which is fast.

Band Beam and Slab

• This system consists of a series of parallel, wide, shallow beams with the floor
slab spanning transversely between the bands.
• The floor slab is designed as a continuous slab, with the shallow band beams
carrying all loads from the slab.
• A two-way slab system and are not treated as beams, except for shear.
• Commonly used for longer span structures often with the bands post-tensioned
and the slabs reinforced
