Question

In case of 2-way slab, the limiting deflection of the slab is

• A. primarily a function of the long span
• B. primarily a function of the short span
• C. independent of long or short spans
• D. dependent on both long and short spans

Answer 1

The correct option is B primarily a function of the short span

The strip of a two way slab may be cheked for deflection control against shorter span to effective depth ratios.

Span to effective depth ratio

Type of slab	Type of reinforcement
Mild Steel	Fe 415 grade steel
Simply supported	35	28
Continuous	40	32
