Accepted Answer

Design process of one-way and two-way slabs and their differences

One-way slab design involves calculating bending moments and shear forces along one direction, typically supported on two opposite sides. Two-way slab design considers bending moments and shear forces in both directions, usually supported on all four sides.
One-way slab design is simpler and more common in practice, while two-way slab design is more complex and requires additional considerations such as torsion and punching shear.
For one-way slab design, the reinforcement is typically placed in one direction only, while for two-way slab design, reinforcement is provided in both directions to resist bending in both directions.
Examples of one-way slab applications include residential buildings, while two-way slabs are commonly used in commercial buildings and parking structures.
