What is Slab and its function?
Slabs are the flooring systems of most structures including office, commercial and residential buildings, bridges, sports stadiums and other facilities building. The main functions of slabs are generally to carry gravity forces, such as loads from human weight, goods and furniture, vehicles and so on. In modern structure design particularly for high rise buildings and basement structures, slabs as floor diaphragms help in resisting external lateral actions such as wind, earthquake and lateral earth load.
