Slabs are structures that interface between floors of a building and can support subfloors or function as a ceiling. Generally, they rest on beams, which in turn rest on pillars and adequately distribute the building load. Its structural design is of a plate in which two dimensions are much larger than the third, which is the thickness, with loads transverse to it and subjected to bending. The design criteria are the breaking strength and the thickness itself. Thin slabs may be safe to break, but cause user insecurity due to large arrows or excessive vibration. A raft slab is a reinforced concrete slab on the ground that is strengthened with integral concrete beams in both directions. Raft foundations can be fast and inexpensive to construct, as they tend not to require deep excavations compared to strip or pad foundations and they may use less material as they combine the foundation with the ground slab.
