Construction Practice: Bending Behavior of One-Way vs. Two-Way Slabs

This video explains the bending behavior of one-way and two-way slabs, highlighting how they distribute loads and resist bending forces.

Key Takeaways:

One-Way Slab: Bends in one direction only, with main reinforcement placed along the shorter span where bending occurs.

Two-Way Slab: Bends in both directions, distributing loads more efficiently, requiring reinforcement in both spans.

Why It Matters? Understanding slab bending is crucial for structural safety, efficient reinforcement placement, and load distribution in buildings.

Mastering these principles helps in designing cost-effective and structurally sound buildings.
