Unraveling The Ribbing Mystery: Deciphering The Count In A Slab
The number of ribs in a slab varies based on factors like span, load, and spacing. The distance between ribs (rib spacing) influences concrete cover and reinforcement design. The rib width impacts cover thickness and shear resistance, while rib depth (slab thickness) determines strength and stiffness. Bar layout, concrete cover, shear reinforcement, and deflection limits…
