Flat Slab / Flat Plate

• These are generally 2-way spanning slab

• It is most ideal for grids with aspect ratio (X & Y direction) of up to 1.4

• As flat plate design is generally governed by its punching shear capacity, it is usually suitable for light loading (~ 5kPa) and small span structures (<12m)

• Flat slab design with drop panel can be designed for live loads of exceeding 30 kPa and for spans greater than 15m

• Tendons run in both directions in clear column and middle strips
