assuming that it is a waterline leak, i would suggest the alternate route for simplicity sake.
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
5.33 is the weight of 12mm dia. bars.
they are deformed bsteel bars or connectors used to hold the faces of building slab in contact

sunken slab is the slab provided in toilets and bathrooms in order to conceal all the pipelines below the floor.

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.

Crank lengths are used because the moments at the edge strips are negative while that at mid span are positive so reinforcement are alternatively provided at the top and bottom respectively.. so just to have connection between the reinforcement and for the slab to behave as a single unit by providing continuous bars, cranking is done in slabs..
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.
