A slab made of reinforced concrete with no voids and supported on two sides only then it will bend or deflect in the direction perpendicular to the supported edges. The structural action is one way and almost all loads being carried by the slab in the shorter direction. This type of slab is called One Way slab. If the slab is supported on all four sides and the ratio of longer side to shorter side is greater than or equal to two, then again structural action will be one way and the slab will be One Way slab.
Plan of a one way slab which has support on two sides only (beams along the shorter dimension).
Plan of one way slab which has support on all four sides in the form of beams but its longer side is greater than twice the shorter side.
Determine the type of one way slab you have. The different types of one way slabs are o Simply supported
Plan of one way slab with beams and columns on four sides.
Plan of one way slab with beams and columns on four sides. This slab has continuity on one side in the form of adjoining slab.
Plan of one way slab with beams and columns on four sides. This slab has continuity on both sides in the form of adjoining slabs.
Cantilever
Plan of one way slab with beam and columns on one side.

Calculate the slab thickness based on the type of slab given by ACI code. Calculate loads on slab. The different types of loads on slab are o Dead load Self weight Finishes load Partition wall load Sunk load o Live load Calculate the maximum moment values on different parts of the selected section of the slab. Using the value of moment calculate the value of Ru using the formula
