A reinforced concrete floor is framed with beams spaced 35 ft on center in one direction and 16 ft on center in the other direction. Are the slabs that span between the beams one-way slabs or two-way slabs, or does the floor have a combination of these two? Give reason(s) for your answer.

What will be an ideal response?


Each slab is a one -way slab because the ratio of long side to the short side of each slab = (35/16) = 2.2, which is greater than 2.0.
