A two-way slab is a structural concrete slab supported on all four sides (by beams or walls) that distributes loads in two perpendicular directions, unlike a one-way slab which transfers loads in only one direction. Identified when the ratio of its long side to short side is less than 2, two-way slabs are used for square or nearly square rooms, requiring reinforcement in both directions to handle bending in both spans, leading to thinner, more efficient designs for longer spans than one-way slabs. #rebar #concreteslab #construction #shorts #rebar #constructionlife #concreteslab #steelworker #builder #engineering #construction #rebarlife #usaconstruction #construction #heavycivil #buildingmaterial #reinforcedconcrete #structuralengineering #trending #civilengineering #youtube #civilengineer #siteengineer #sitework
