11.7. Details of a Simply Supported Two Way Slab

Try these first

1. 1.

   What are the dimensions of the simply supported two-way slab discussed?

   Hint

   Think about the width and length mentioned in the context.

2. 2.

   What is the thickness of the slab?

   Hint

   Refer to details of the slab specifications.

3. 3.

   What diameter bars are used for main reinforcement in the two-way slab?

   • 8ϕ
   • 10ϕ
   • 12ϕ

   Hint

   Recall the specifications mentioned in the lesson.

4. 4.

   True or False: Negative reinforcement bars are placed at intervals of 300 mm for the longer span.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Check the reinforcement details discussed.

5. 5.

   You are tasked to design a two-way slab for a larger area of 6m x 8m with similar loading conditions. What factors will you consider in your new design?

   Hint

   Review how dimensions affect reinforcement needs.

6. 6.

   Discuss how changing the thickness of the slab to 200 mm would impact material usage and structural behavior.

   Hint

   Think about structural principles related to weight and strength.
