what is the difference between two way slab and flat slab?
what is the benifits of flat slab?

Answer Posted / sudhir patel

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.
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.
