Total Moment in both beams M wl1 k - ft

Full load was transferred east-west by the planks and then was
transferred north-south by the beams;
The same is true for a two-way slab or any other floor system.
Basic Steps in Two-way Slab Design
1. Choose layout and type of slab.
2. Choose slab thickness to control deflection. Also,
check if thickness is adequate for shear.
3. Choose Design method
– Equivalent Frame Method- use elastic frame
analysis to compute positive and negative
moments
– Direct Design Method - uses coefficients to
compute positive and negative slab moments
