Can you pour a concrete slab onto another concrete slab?
No. Concrete won't bond to concrete. It will end up cracking.
Will a cantilever slab have beam at its fixed end and what is the load distribution for it like triangular......?
it will need a suppot element , depper and stiffer concrete members will act as support
What is the difference between one end continuous slab and both end continuous slab?
nothing
Why is high tensile steel wire used in prestressed concrete?
To mobilise the compressive strength of the full thickness of the slab. For an explanation see below. Concrete tends to be stronger in compression than tension. If you can imagine a large flat slab of concrete that is much wider than it is thick (for example a slab to be used in the construction of the floor of an upper level of a house), it will be supported at the corners or edges. This allows the centre of the slab to deform vertically downwards (by a very small amount). This deformation due to it's own self weight generates stresses in the slab. You now need to imagine that there was a straight line drawn along the centre of the edge of the slab from one end to the other. When the slab deforms this line will become a curve or arch. This is in fact what the slab is doing - performing as an arch. This means that the lower portion of the slab (below the line will have stretched and be under tension and the upper portion of the slab will have been compressed. Now in this case the failure strength of the arch is being controlled by the tensile strength of the slab which is much lower than it's compressive strength. As such when the concrete is being formed, high tensile strength steel wires are connected to anchor points in the factory and they are stretched or placed under a tensile stress. The concrete is than poured into a mould around the steel wire and allowed to set (or cure). The concrete than adheres to the steel cable. Once the concrete has fully hardened the stell wires are cut from the anchor points and the steel wires attempt to return to their original size, This stress is transferred to the concrete as compression by friction due to the bond between the c able and concrete. Now when the concrete slab is used as a floor it begins to deform under it's own weight, however the pre-stressed steel wires already under tension act to pull the entire slab including the base back into a compressive stress state meaning that the whole of the slabs compressive strength is mobilised rather than just the upper half and this effectively acts to make the slab stronger. There are a number of differing methods of making steel reinforce pre-stressed concrete and for further information, please see the related link.
How do you Drill under a slab of concrete?
If you mean drill horizontally through the dirt,, I'm no engineer but fitting a length of pipe with a water tap then extend the pipe as the water washes away the dirt from the working end under the slab and flushes out the sediment seems like it would work.

Will a cantilever slab have beam at its free end?
no
What are the disadvantages of using flat slabs in building construction?
Flat slab homes are also known as concert slba homes these have no crawl space underneath. Some disadvantages are if down hill they can end up with rain inside and when pipes need to be replaced that are under the slab the flooring and concrete in that area must be removed.
What is a simply supported slab?
The slabs that are supported only at end are called simply supported slabs i.e. there is no intermediate supports in the slab and there will be no support moment acting on the slab.
When did Concrete Blonde end?

What is the fck of concrete?
Concrete The concrete used in structures is characterized by its resistance, the fck. This resistance is measured through the breaking of specimens, and it means to say that a case has a certain fck, the probability of obtaining a lower resistance than that indicated only 5%. It is good to note that the fck, which is the concrete strength is measured by a unit of voltage, ie, a load (force) per unit area. This measure can be given in MPa or kg/cm2. We can say, for example, that a case has fck = 18 MPa. This means that the resistance (fck) of concrete is equal to 18MPa or 180 kgf/cm2. For specification of concrete for the slab lattice, one must distinguish the concrete used in the manufacture of concrete beams cast in situ to form the ribs of the slab. The second has an important structural function, as it forms the table compression of the slab, while the first does not always have. The concrete to be released on the spot will be provided by the manufacturer, but its strength should be reported to the engineer responsible for the design of the slab, allowing it to conduct the calculations correctly. The concrete for casting the beams does not, in most cases, the same structural importance doconcreto to be cast on the spot, except in some cases, such as the continuous slab or sheet, when we squeeze the lower fiber the slab, where the concrete s.apata. Where no such structural importance, the concrete beams do not need a high compressive strength, but should not miss the purpose of protection of armor that are within the s.apata. Therefore, attention should be paid to asua compactness and avoid the use of beams with poor concreting (maggots). The concrete that makes up the slabs and concrete lattice supplement must meet the specifications of NBR-12655 and NBR 6118 and NBR 8953 and respecting the provisions of NBR 12,654. The compressive strength will be specified by the structural design, and required a minimum Class C20 to C20 beams and Class of acordocom NBR 6118 for concrete cast on site. In the case of concurrent execution of specific complementary edo concrete structure, the prevailing higher value of resistance characteristic (fck) specified in the project.
