The clear cover in slabs and beams refers to the minimum distance between the surface of the concrete and the surface of the embedded reinforcement bars (rebar). This cover is crucial for protecting the rebar from corrosion and ensuring adequate bond strength. Typically, the clear cover is specified in building codes and can vary, but it generally ranges from 15 to 40 mm depending on exposure conditions and structural requirements. The percentage of clear cover is not commonly expressed as a percentage; rather, it is a fixed dimension based on design standards.

What is the difference between waffle slab and ribbed slab?
Waffle slabs are two-way spanning slabs whose beams(in two diresctions) are at very close centres whereas a ribbed slab is a one way spanning slab whose secondary beams are at very close centres, but not their primary beams.
Comparsion of beam slab and flat slab system?
flat plates are solide concret slabs of uniform thickness that transfert load directly to the column without presence of projected beams and solid slabs surronding by beams
What is the different between suspended slab and non suspended slab?
Suspended slabs differ from non-suspended slabs because they are suspended above the ground via beams. Non-suspended slabs sit directly on the ground.
