Civil Engineering QUESTION #6598
Question 1
In a one-way slab system, the structural load transfer occurs primarily in the:
  • Short direction✔️
  • Long direction
  • Either short or long direction
  • Both short and long directions equally
Correct Answer Explanation
A one-way slab is designed so that bending and load transfer occur predominantly in the short direction (spanning direction), where \(L_{long}/L_{short} \geq 2\). The short-span strips carry essentially all the load.
