What is slab . different types of slab.and structural member of slab

Slabs
Slabs are dimensional planner structural members whose 
thickness is small as compared to its length and breadth. 
Types of slabs 
(a) Based on support conditions:
     Simply supported slab
     Cantilever slab
     Restrained slab(with fixed or continuous edges)
     Flat slabs(slabs resting directly on columns)
(b) Based on spanning directions:
     One way slab-Spanning in one direction 
     Two way slab-Spanning in two direction

(1). ONE WAY SLAB
A slab which is supported on two opposite edges only is called
as slabs spanning in one direction or one way slab.
If the slab is supported on all four edges and the ratio of longer
span to shorter span is greater than 2,practically the spans across
the shorter span.
(2). TWO WAY SLAB
When the slabs are supported on all the four edges and the ratio
of longer span to the shorter span is less than or equal to 2.
Two way slabs,the load is transferred in both the direction to
all the four supporting edges.
