Thickened part of a flat slab over its supporting column, is technically known as _____________(a) drop panel(b) capital(c) column head(d) cannot be determined |
|
Answer» Correct choice is (a) drop panel The best explanation: Drop panel is used for resisting high shear at the column, drop panels have thickness more than the slab thickness and they are mostly used when the span is large or shear load is high. While column capital is the upper head of the column which is thickened to reduce the punching shear on the column, column capital also reduces the clear span. |
