Different types of Slabs :1. Conventional solid slab:-- the slab which is braced with beams and columns is called conventional slab this kind of slab is small whereas the depth of the beam is large and load is transferred to beams and from beams to columns. These types of slabs are used in constructing Floors of multi stored building. It is of two types.a) One-way Slab.b) Two Way Slab.2. Flat Slab:-Flat slab is a reinforced concrete slab secured directly by concrete columns or caps .flat slab doesn’t have beams.3. Waffle slab:- Waffle slab is a reinforced concrete roof or floor containing square grids with deep sides. This kind of slab is majorly used at entrance hotels, malls, restaurants
as per ACI , the ratio between column & beam concrete grades dont exceed 1.4
A bag of Quickcrete weighs 80 lbs dry. When water is added it can weigh another 1.5 to 2 lbs. when the water evaporates it will sill retain some water; so, about 80.5 lbs. The Quickcrete covers 1/2 cu ft. or 2 sq. ft. @ 3" thick. 21X20= 420 sq ft X 40.25= 16,905 lbs. or there abouts.
For one cubic meter of concrete used in a slab, approximately 0.3 to 0.5 cubic meters of sand is typically required, depending on the specific mix design. A common concrete mix ratio for slabs is 1:2:4 (cement:sand:aggregate), which translates to about 0.4 cubic meters of sand for each cubic meter of concrete. However, the exact amount may vary based on the desired strength and workability of the concrete.
About 1/2 cubic yard will be enough.

1.25 cubic yards for a 4-inch slab. 2 cubic yards (1.85) for a 6-inch slab.
To calculate the weight of a concrete slab measuring 24 x 24 x 2 inches, first determine the volume in cubic inches: 24 x 24 x 2 = 1,152 cubic inches. Since concrete typically weighs about 150 pounds per cubic foot, convert cubic inches to cubic feet (1,152 cubic inches ÷ 1,728 cubic inches per cubic foot = 0.6667 cubic feet). Finally, multiply by the weight of concrete: 0.6667 cubic feet x 150 pounds per cubic foot ≈ 100 pounds. Thus, the slab weighs approximately 100 pounds.
4824 -5544 pounds.
If the 6 is meant to be inches (= 1/2 ft.) then: 8 ft. x 24 ft. x 1/2 ft. = 96 cu.ft. concrete.
if l/b ratio<2 then it is one way slab3

To calculate the number of bags of concrete needed for a 2x2x4 slab, first determine the volume of the slab in cubic feet: 2 ft x 2 ft x 4 ft = 16 cubic feet. Since a standard bag of concrete (typically 80 lbs) covers about 2 cubic feet, you would need approximately 8 bags (16 cubic feet ÷ 2 cubic feet per bag). Therefore, you would need 8 bags of concrete to make the slab.
