5 MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ONE WAY SLAB & TWO WAY SLAB

 Now, let us observe the 5 main differences between the one-way slab & two-way slab

 

No.	One-way slab	Two-way slab
1.	(Lx / Ly) > or = 2 Where Lx  = Longer span                      Ly =  Shorter span	(Lx / Ly) < 2 Where Lx =  Longer span  Ly =  Shorter span

 

2.

The main reinforcement is provided in one direction i.e. Ly. Distribution bar is provided in longer span i.e. Lx.

Main reinforcement is provided in two directions i.e. Lx & Ly

 

3.

Loads are carried by the structure in one direction.

Loads are carried by the structure in both the direction.

 

4.

Supported by the beams in opposite directions.

Supported by the beams on all four sides.

 

5.

Bends like a cut portion of the cylinder

Bends like a cut portion of the sphere.
