| Difference between a slab element and a reinforced concrete slabTonyC 2015-05-18 10:50:56 Let me share a support case. QUESTION: What is the difference between slab and reinforced concrete slab ANSWER: The "Slab" element is a structural element constituted by joists added to lightweight elements such as brick blocks or Polystyrene. In the schematic finite element analysis carried out with EdiLus, this element represents a simple load and therefore not modeled.

In the finite element analysis this element is modeled with shell elements in both the membrane and bending behavior.
