Bending Behaviour of One Way Slab and Two Way Slab

Bending is a process that, in essence, shows us what happens to an abundant structure when it is subjected to a heavy external pressure applied when it is at right angles to the baseline of an axis of the structure when the external pressure is applied for being at right angles to the longitudinal axis of that structure.

In most cases, the bending of slabs is caused by the distortion of the slab, which is caused mainly by the bend of the edges, causing the slab to bend upwards or downwards.

Slabs

Building slabs are horizontal structures that are used in the construction department of a building, which is used to construct floors, walls, ceilings, roofs, decks, and any other type of horizontal structure that is used in the building process.

In general, the slabs of this type have a thickness of some kind, and the beams that hold the slabs together are often reinforced and supported by concrete beams that reinforce the slabs.

One-way slab

A one-way slab is a type of slab, which is supported by a parallel beam or wall, so it can be viewed as a two-dimensional structure. There is a large width and shallow depth of this beam, making it an excellent shallow beam.

In terms of slabs, a slab is a one-way slab when it is supported on both edges and bends in only one direction. A slab is also considered a one-way slab when it is supported on both edges and bends in only one direction. As the name suggests, one-way slabs have thicknesses corresponding to other dimensions of the slab.

As long as the slabs are restrained in some way or are possibly unrestrained, they can be considered one-way slabs. On the two opposite sides of the one-way slab, a beam supports the slab only on the two opposite sides.

Loads in a one-way slab are carried in one direction recumbent to the supporting beam. A one-way slab has a lower quantity of steel than other slabs, and the main reinforcement is the banding of the materials of the slabs
