Concept:

One-way slab:

(i) If a slab is supported only on two opposite supports, it is called a one-way slab.

(ii) If the slab is opposite on all four sides and span ratio 'ly/lx > 2', it is called a one-way slab.

(iii) Main reinforcement is provided along a shorter span.

(iv) Distribution reinforcement is provided along a longer span.

(v) maximum moment in the slab is along a shorter span direction.

(vi) When simply supported along two opposite edges square slab will behave as the one-way slab.

The maximum moment for the simply supported slab is given by,

\({M_x} = \frac{{wl_x^2}}{8}\)

Where lx = shorter span length
