Structural Concrete Slabs are constructed to provide flat surfaces, usually horizontal, in building floors, roofs, bridges, and other types of structures. The slab may be supported by walls, by reinforced concrete beams usually cast monolithically with the slab, by structural steel beams, by columns, or by the ground. The depth of a slab is usually … Read more

Reinforced Concrete Floor systems normally consist of slabs and beams that are placed monolithic-ally. As a result, the two parts act together to resist loads. In effect, the beams have extra width\’s on their tops, called flanges and the resulting T-shaped beams are called T-beams. The part of a T Beam below the slab is … Read more
