This document discusses the design of two-way slabs using the moment coefficient method. It is part of a professional course on reinforced concrete design taught by Ronel Romero. The document defines two-way slabs as large flat plates supported by beams, walls, columns, or the ground that can bend in two directions. It notes key terms used to describe two-way slabs and establishes conventions for sign notation in the analysis. Tables are also referenced to aid in the design process.

Instructor President Ramon Magsaysay State University REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB are large flat plates that are supported by reinforced concrete beams, walls, or columns; by masonry walls; by structural steel beams or columns; or by the ground. STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF A BUILDING FRAME DEFINITION OF TERMS TWO-WAY SLABon both strips are relatively close. Stiffness Long span to Short span ratio (L/S ≤ 2)
SIGN CONVENTION:
Two-way slab bends either two directions.
