Simply Supported Slabs ~ these are slabs which rest on a bearing
and for design purposes are not considered to be fixed to the
support and are therefore, in theory, free to lift. In practice
however they are restrained from unacceptable lifting by their own
self weight plus any loadings.Concrete Slabs ~ concrete is a material which is strong in
compression and weak in tension and if the member is overloaded
its tensile resistance may be exceeded leading to structural failure.Simply Supported RC Slabs
