Civil Engineering QUESTION #6636
Question 1
In the design of one-way slabs, the principal reinforcement is designed to resist:
  • Shrinkage stresses
  • Flexural moments in the long direction
  • Flexural moments in the short direction✔️
  • Torsional moments
Correct Answer Explanation
A one-way slab transfers most of its load to the supports in the short direction; hence the main reinforcement is placed parallel to the short span.
