Drop panel construction

Описание: Welcome to Tech Civil ✌✌

Here is a video on drop panel and flat slab construction.

Drop panels are the rectangular portion provided above the column and below the slab in order to restrict slab from getting sheared and undergo rupture.

Drop panel increases the contact surface area between the column and slab, which will enable a better distribution of load from slab to column. Thus, it will reduce the chance of slab failure due to unbalanced moments.

Reason behind drop panel construction:

Easier installation of formwork and reinforcement
Construction time for large formwork gets reduced
Increase in flexibility of planning the layout for room
Increased head room of the floor will be available.

Main uses of drop panel :

It tends to improve resistance for shear failure.
It tends to enhance negative moment capacity of flat slab.
It tends to minimize the deflection.


The process is similar to slab concreting, which includes,

1. shuttering
2. reinforcement works
3. concreting
