If the ratio is too low, the intermediate spans will be overloaded and may crack.<\/p>\n<p>The ratio of the end and intermediate spans is calculated by dividing the length of the end span by the length of the intermediate span. For example, if the length of the end span is 10 feet and the length of the intermediate span is 15 feet, the ratio is 0.67.<\/p>\n<p>The ratio of the end and intermediate spans is an important factor in the design of a floor slab.
