What is mean by Flat Slab?
• A reinforced concrete slab supported directly
by concrete columns without the use of beams.
• Flat slabs are highly versatile elements widely
used in construction, providing minimum depth,
fast construction and allowing flexible column
grids.
Construction:
The benefits of choosing flat slabs include a
minimum depth solution, speed of construction,
flexibility in the plan layout (both in terms of the
shape and column layout).
Types:
1. Typical flat slab
2. Slab without drop and column with column head.
3. Slab with drop and column without column head
4. Slab with drop and column with column head.
Disadvantages:
• Drop panels may interfere with larger mechanical
ducting.
• Vertical penetrations need to avoid area around
columns.
