Assessing Strength, Stiffness, and Safety of Reinforced Concrete Slabs

Slab Load Test is a critical in-situ structural evaluation employed to ascertain the load-bearing capacity, serviceability, and performance of reinforced concrete slabs. It provides a practical assessment of the slab’s behavior under controlled loading conditions, thereby confirming its compliance with design specifications and ensuring its safety for extended use. At Global Lab, we conduct static and proof load tests in accordance with IS 456:2000 (Clause 16.3) standards. Utilizing deflection sensors and real-time monitoring, we deliver NABL-certified, field-verified data on slab performance and integrity.

Why Slab Load testMatters.

Verification of Design and Construction Quality

The test confirms that the slab can safely withstand its intended load without excessive deflection or cracking.

Evaluation of Existing Structures

Used for old, renovated, or repurposed buildings, the test ensures that existing slabs can safely handle new load conditions — for example, converting an office floor to a warehouse or storage facility. It also helps assess residual strength in slabs affected by fire, overloading, or seismic activity, and is invaluable where original design documents are unavailable.

Serviceability and Long-Term Performance

By monitoring deflection under load and recovery after unloading, engineers can understand both immediate and residual deformation behavior. This data helps predict the long-term structural performance and service life of the slab.
