  2. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

    Such designs include corrugated slabs and ribbed slabs. Non-reinforced slabs may also be considered one-way if they are supported on only two opposite sides (i.e. they are supported in one axis). A one-way reinforced slab may be stronger than a two-way non-reinforced slab, depending on the type of load. The calculation of reinforcement ...

  3. Engineering drawing abbreviations and symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing...

    A letter v (Latin small letter v) written on a line representing a surface is a way to indicate that the surface is to be machined rather than left in the as-cast or as-forged state. The older symbol for this was a small script (italic) f (see herein f). Later the ASA convened upon a letter V (specifically a sans-serif V) touching the surface ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_typographical...

    Typographical symbols and punctuation marks are marks and symbols used in typography with a variety of purposes such as to help with legibility and accessibility, or to identify special cases. This list gives those most commonly encountered with Latin script. For a far more comprehensive list of symbols and signs, see List of Unicode characters.

  5. Waffle slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_slab

    Waffle slabs are preferred for spans greater than 40 feet (12 m), because, for a given mass of concrete, they are much stronger than flat slabs, flat slabs with drop panels, two-way slabs, one-way slabs, and one-way joist slabs. [2] Section of a waffle slab including beam, ribs, and column head

  6. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    A cantilever is a rigid structural element that extends horizontally and is unsupported at one end. Typically it extends from a flat vertical surface such as a wall, to which it must be firmly attached. Like other structural elements, a cantilever can be formed as a beam, plate, truss, or slab.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arching_or_Compressive...

    Since the 1950s there have been several attempts to develop theories for arching action in both one and two-way slabs. [5] [6] [7] One of the principal approaches to membrane action was that due to Park [8] which has been used as a basis for many studies into arching action in slabs. Park's approach was based on rigid plastic slab strip theory ...
