A conventional slab will have two bars side by side near the top and bottom of each beam and a 16" grid across the entire top of the slab. Can't help you with a post tention... they are inventing new ways to take steel out of them every day.
About 2.27 kg of steel bars is used for the RCC slab of size 50' 18' 4.5.
Main bars are placed parellel to shor and distribution along longer side
in a rectangular foundation long bars to be in bottom and short bar to be on top of long bars, where as in slab opposite to the foooting bars
The strength will vary depending on the type of concrete, the base, and the presence or absence of steel or fiberglass reinforcing.

they are deformed bsteel bars or connectors used to hold the faces of building slab in contact

You will see the post tention slabs with out stirrups, they are cutting costs. For a conventional slab where you have 4 bars in your beam, stirrups are the best way to hold the bars in place. Some engineers claim the stirrups add zero structural value to the slab.
The weight can only be determined if the exact weight of the reinforcement, as well as the exact displacement of the reinforcing is known. Thus the weight should be 1 sq meter x thickness of the concrete minus the exact displacement of the reinforcing, plus the weight of the reinforcing. The weight per cubic meter of concrete is 2450 kg.
5.33 is the weight of 12mm dia. bars.
Since most flat slabs contain reinforcing steel, the minimum would be the thickness required to cover the steel, generally 2" top and bottom. But the real answer depends on what the slab is supporting and the level of safety required. For a very general situation where the slab is supported on all sides and not significantly longer in one direction, a slab can be 6" wide and support light loading if properly reinforced.
A mud slab is a thin layer of concrete covering the soil. It can be spray applied with gunnite, similar to a concrete pool lining.
