INTRODUCTION : -
A Concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings , consisting of a
flat , horizontal surface made of cast concrete. Steel – reinforced slabs , typically
between 100 and 500 mm thick are most often used to construct floors and ceilings ,
while thinner mud slabs may be used for exterior paving .In many domestic and
industrial buildings a thick concrete slab supported on foundation or directly on the
subsoil is used to construct the ground floor known as ground bearing slab. There are
several common slab which are listed below.
1. One – way slab.
2. Two –way slab.
3. Voided slab.
4. Fial slab.
5. Beam and slab floor.
6. Ribbed slab floor.
7. Waffle grid or coffered slab floor.
8. Drop beam and slab floor.
9. Flush slab or flat slab floor.
10. Hollow Slab floor.

One way slab is supported on all the four sides but the ratio of long span ( l ) to shorter
span ( b ) is greater than 2.
Two way slab is supported on all four sides but the ratio of long span to shorter span is
less than 2.
Ribed slab floor is to reduce the overall depth of beam and slab floor.suitable span for
this ranges from 4.5 m to 9 m.
Waffle grid or coffered slab floor is constructed for square column grid ranging from 5m
to 10 m.
Drop beam and slab floor is a two way spanning floor.
Flush slab or flat floor is a slab of uniform thickness throughout the floor without down
strain beams , it ranges from 225mm to 400 mm.
Hollow slab floor may be one way or two way slab used for sound proofing and fire
resisting qualities which may consists of clay or pre cast hollow concrete pots.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS : -
1. Assemble and erect formwork.
2. Prepare and place reinforcement.
3. Pour , compact and finish concrete. 4. Curing concrete and removal of formwork.
1 The formwork is designed to withstand construction loads such as fresh concrete
pressure and weight of workers and operators and machine. It should be positioned
correctly , lined and levelled , joints sealed adequately and prevent concrete fro pouring.
It may be of wood , steel and aluminium materials.
2. Design drawings provides necessary reinforcement details , so it requires to use
designated bar size , cutting required length and make necessary hooks and bents ,
after preparation is completed steel bars are placed into their positions with specified
spacings and concrete covers and using binding wires.
3. Pour , compact and finish concrete is the next step after the laying of reinforcement,
this is done under the supervision of the senior engineers at site with the quality ,
quantity and proper mix of the grades with sound vibration.
4 .Curing concrete is done for 7 days , the side form work can be removed after 2 – 3
days where as the floor formwork is removed only after 28 days.

COCLUSION :-
R.C.C floors is a modern and efficient form of construction .It has been used for number
of years. The type of design of slab and floor is considered on the load calculation and
soil bearing capacity, wind pressure, earthquake resistance etc…It is the easiest
method of construction in terms of mass.
