Which of the following statements is/are correct about one - way slabs?
Statement A : Limiting the span - to - effective depth ratio in one - way slabs is important to ensure that the slab has adequate stiffness and strength to carry the design loads, without excessive deflection or cracking.
Statement B : A higher span - to - effective depth ratio can result in increased deflection, cracking and reduced load - carrying capacity of the slab.
