it depends on the type of occupancy, and varies on the code that you want to use.

How loading on a building is transmitted from the superstructure to the ground?
1st a fall live load, such as (moving loads) that can acting from the slab then it may transmit through the beam.then the load may pass through column and footing.
How concrete slab distribute the load to the beams?
Just like your tummy slab tranfers your weight to your leg beams
How much weight will a concrete slab of 100 mm thick take?
The weight a concrete slab can support depends on its design, reinforcement, and the load applied to it. However, a standard concrete slab of 100 mm (10 cm) thickness, made with normal concrete, weighs approximately 2,400 kg per cubic meter. Therefore, a square meter of this slab would weigh about 240 kg. The actual load-bearing capacity will vary based on factors such as the type of load (static or dynamic) and safety factors applied in structural design.
Is imposed load same as live load?
Imposed loads - or live loads, movable loads that act on the structure when it is in use Imposed load = Live load ;)
What are the different types of concrete slabs?
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

What is the Load capacity of a 4 inch slab floor?
The load capacity of a 4-inch slab floor can vary based on factors such as the type of concrete mix, reinforcement, and design specifications. Typically, a standard 4-inch reinforced concrete slab can support a live load of approximately 40 pounds per square foot (psf) for residential applications. However, for commercial or industrial use, the load capacity may be higher, often ranging from 50 to 100 psf or more. It's essential to consult structural engineering guidelines or a professional to determine the specific load capacity for a given application.
With what concrete-like material is a conrete foundation slab leveled an average of 3 inches so as to support a load bearing wall?
This question is not clear. A slab alone shouldn't support a load bearing wall, except for a shed type of building.
What is the difference between live load and roof live load?
Live load Both are the same Live load is all the live loads which can be consider as variable load. Roof live load This is limited to few categories. man who climbed on to the roof can be consider as roof live load.
What thickness of concrete will it take to hold up a 100x 25 mezzanine with live load of 60lbs per square foot?
To determine the required thickness of concrete for a mezzanine with a live load of 60 lbs per square foot, factors such as the span of the concrete slab, reinforcement, and design codes must be considered. Generally, a concrete slab for such applications is commonly designed to be at least 4 to 6 inches thick, depending on the specifics of the load and reinforcement strategy. Consulting with a structural engineer is essential for precise calculations and to ensure compliance with local building codes.
What is the purpose of load transfer devices?
helps distrute loads from slab or even within slabs
What is a live load?
Live load is a load on the object other than the load from itself.
Lenghts and spaces of a rebar in a slab?
varies depending on load to be put on slab, local codes, lots of variables. Check with bldg. dept., better yet a structural engineer.
What is mean by one long discontinuous in two way slab?
In the context of structural engineering, a "long discontinuous" in a two-way slab refers to a design feature where a slab has a significant span or length without continuous support, creating a discontinuity in the load-bearing elements. This can lead to variations in the slab's performance under load, potentially affecting deflection, stress distribution, and overall structural integrity. Proper analysis and reinforcement are essential to ensure the slab can safely carry the intended loads despite these discontinuities.
