[@vinodshan12]

Very nice explanation. Kindly add images if possible for better understanding. Thanks

[@darasayamma59]

Finally which one is better and comanly used in constructions in India,flat or conventional?????

[@engineeringmotive6669]

Most widely used slab system is Slab Beam system. The limitations of flat slab are - It can be constructed for Medium range spans. And flat slabs doesn't support masonry partitions. Also for reinforced flat slabs, deflection at the middle strip may be critical. Thats why flat slabs are generally used in parking decks, commercial buildings, hotels or places where beam projections are not desired.

@EngineeringMotive Our house is flat slab system (built up area approx 180*180 sq yards). Now we are planning to build another floor on top of it. Is it possible to add columns to the ground floor now.

Thank you sir please tell us about the uses of this conventional slab system

[@vaishnavi-lh9qi]

Which type of slab takes heavy load and in flat slab columns are constructed closer than conventional slab?

[@taofeekadebayosalam7157]

Good

[@saedricedquila7805]

Thank you

Hi Engineering Motive, While the Reinforcement in Flat Slabs are in two layers and the thickness of slab being more, won't Flat Slabs cost more?

[@ratipati2007]

That's what I was also thinking.

[@shankartotawar9533]

The point :- At least 3 continues spans are needed is it compulsory. Because I didn't hear it before is 3 x 2 slabs okay to construct.

thanks.

Hi, we are planning a B+G+3 commercial complex in Bangalore, and the builder is saying flat slab structure costs more to build compared to conventional slab as the concrete and steel required is more, whereas here you are saying it is 16 % less than conventional slab, can you give me your number. I would like to consult you on the same

[@krazyharsh5040]
