Introduction
Long-span floors for relatively light live loads can be
constructed as a series of closely spaced cast-in-place
T-beams (or joists or ribs) with a cross section.
Since concrete is weak in tension and its tensile
strength is neglected in design, the use of ribbed slab
eliminate much of tension concrete in a slab that
results in a saving of weight with little alteration in
the structural behavior of the slab.
