one way slab with open ends

one way slab with open ends

one way slab with open ends

(OP)

Has anyone designed a one way 4" slab with dimensions 3 meter by 6 meter that is fully anchored in the long span 6 meter side (to beams) but one of the short span 3 meter side open? One way slab means the long span side is attached to the beam by top bars and continuous lower bars.

RE: one way slab with open ends

No, 4" is too shallow for a one way slab spanning 3m. Why are you mixing Imperial and metric units?

Do you mean "No" meaning a 100mm slab can't be made one way? Or it can but "No" to the short span being open? Please clarify. Thanks.

RE: one way slab with open ends

There is nothing wrong with designing your slab as spanning in one direction, but I agree with BA that 100 mm is too thin for a simple span of 3 metres.

RE: one way slab with open ends

(OP)

So for 100mm slab, it must be span in 2 directions or two-way.. meaning the long span of 6 meters and short span of 3 meters have to be both attached to the beams as in 2-way?

RE: one way slab with open ends

I wouldn't necessarily change the system, but would increase the slab depth.
