Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) slabs are increasingly being used in the construction of modern buildings. For short spans and relatively light loads, a simple RCC slab is suitable. If the length to width ratio of a room is greater than 1.5, the slab is designed to span along the shorter direction. Central reinforcement is provided with this small room dimension. Slab thickness is guided by the superimposed load, span and type of concrete used. The end of the slab rests on the wall. When the building is constructed in reinforced concrete frames, the slab must be constructed monolithically with it.the supporting beams. For larger spans and greater loads, RCC beams and slab construction are adopted in the construction of buildings. The slab acts as a flange of the beam and is cast monolithic with the beams. In this case, the size of the beam is greatly reduced. Over the RCC floor suitable covering is laid to get the desired finish.
