In case of a beam ,main steel is provided along the longer
span because, bending moment is directly proportional to
length but why in case of one way slab main steel is
provided along shorter span while as bending takes place
along longer span?comment

Answer Posted / kannan

This is because the deflection of the oneway slab is more
on shorter side. Example if you take 30cm plastic / steel
scale, apply the load longitudanoly, immidiately deflecton
takes place over the particle. Hence to avoid the
deflection of slab, main reinforcements are provided in
shorter span.
