Answer Posted / m. ghailani
1-In two way slab, the slab is supported by beams, the load
of both slab and beams is conveyed to columns and footings.
Flat slab, or more accurately flat plate the slab is
supported by columns, no beams to be used.
2-In two way slab,shear is critical in beams and considered
in slab.
In flat slab, the shear is very critical at the area of
connection of slab with column (called punching shear).
here the column due to load is trying to punch through the
slab and we need the slab to be thickened ( by using Caps)
and/ or heavily reinforced to resist this shear.
3-In two way slab, due to (drop) beams, some of the floor
height is lost (we need more height for different piping
installations.
In flat slab, we don't have this problem because we don't
have drop beams.
