Which of the following factors is used to determine the minimum thickness of a concrete floor slab?
  1. Deflection control
  2. Shear strength (beamless slabs)
  3. Flexural moment requirements
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - The factors used to determine the minimum thickness of a concrete floor slab include: deflection control, shear strength (beamless slabs), and flexural moments requirements. Because slab weight is an important component of the dead load, the slab thickness is one of the first things determined in the design process.
