This document discusses the design of one-way slabs. It begins by defining one-way slabs as slabs that are supported on two opposite sides and carry loads perpendicularly to the supporting beams. The document then outlines the design process, which involves analyzing representative strips of the slab as simple beams and determining reinforcement ratios. Key steps include checking deflection, calculating factored loads, drawing shear and moment diagrams, and selecting reinforcement sizes that satisfy the required ratios. Examples of one-way slab design and the minimum requirements for thickness, reinforcement ratios, and cover are also provided.
