    A flat plate floor is a two-way slab without beams that is suited for light apartment loads up to 6 meters. It uses negative reinforcement near the top of the slab close to columns and positive reinforcement near the bottom. Thicknesses required for heavier loads limit its economic use. A waffle slab provides the largest spans up to 12 meters through reduced dead load from orthogonal rib sets meeting at columns. Shear is transferred to columns through beams or heads.

    TWO-WAY FLAT PLATE SLAB

    A flat plate floor is a two-way slab with no supporting beams, only columns. The
    slab has smooth under surfaces without column capitals or drop panels, shown in
    Figure 2.a. This type of two-way slabs is suited for light loads associated with
    apartment construction and can be economically used for spans up to 6.0 meters.
    Negative moment reinforcement is placed near the top of the plate close to the
    columns while the positive moment reinforcement is placed near the bottom
    surface in the middle of the plate in both directions. Use of flat plates is limited by
    their punching shear capacities where large thickness is required in case of heavy
    loads or large spans, thus rendering the system uneconomical

    TWO-WAY WAFFLE SLAB

    The waffle slab is capable of providing the largest spans of


    the conventional concrete floor systems and can be
    economically used for spans up to 12.0 meters. This is
    attributed to the considerable reduction in dead load as
    compared to other floor systems. Waffle slab construction
    consists of orthogonal sets of ribs with solid parts at the
    columns, as shown in Figure 2.d. The ribs are formed with
    fiberglass or metal dome forms. The ribs are usually 0.60 to
    0.90 meter on center. Shear is transferred to the columns
    by using beams or shear heads.

    TWO-WAY FLAT SLAB


     A two-way slab with column capitals or drop panels, or both, shown in Figure 2.b. This system is appropriate for heavier loads encountered in office or
    industrial buildings. The system is used for spans up to 8.0 meters, due to the increase in slab thickness around the columns.
     These slabs do not have beams but have drop panels or column capitals.
