In site how we can identify one way slab and two way slab?

Answer Posted / soorya

silambarasan is wrong... In all drawings main reinforcement will be in shorter direction. We cannot decide only by using this option. What if all the rods, say for example 12 mm dia bar both sides each way is given... This again depends on the longer and the shorter span.
If ly/lx < 2 then it is a 2 way slab..This is the main criteria for identifying 2 way slab or 1 way slab.
According to structural point of view,
In 2 way slab loads will be carried in 2 directions, so main reinforcement is provided in 2 ways.
In 1 way slab loads will be carried in 1 direction, so main reinforcement is provided in 1 way.

Design a cantilever type retaining wall to retain sand for 4m above the ground. The sand fall slopes at the rate of 1 vertical to 2 horizontal. The weight of sand is 18000 N/m3, the angle of repose being 30. The safe bearing capacity of the soil is 200 kn/m2 at 1/25m below the ground level. Use m 15 concrete mix.
