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
A Bricklayer, slab layer , tiler.

The essential steps for pouring a concrete slab are: preparing the site by leveling and compacting the ground, setting up formwork to contain the concrete, placing a layer of gravel for drainage, reinforcing the slab with rebar or wire mesh, mixing and pouring the concrete, leveling and smoothing the surface, and allowing the concrete to cure properly before using the slab.

The essential steps for preparing a concrete slab before construction are: Clearing and leveling the site Compacting the soil Installing a vapor barrier Adding a layer of gravel or sand Setting up formwork Reinforcing with steel mesh or rebar Pouring and leveling the concrete Curing the slab for strength and durability.

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 strength will vary depending on the type of concrete, the base, and the presence or absence of steel or fiberglass reinforcing.
5.33 is the weight of 12mm dia. bars.
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.
