 Topic: Will this roof fail?
I have to build a room that is 15' wide and 8' high from floor to ceiling. It is an L shaped concrete building with the outside wall length of 35' on both sides. I need to build it with a slab roof about 4-5" thick perhaps. Is it possible to place just columns on the corners only and not within perceivable space to support the slab roof and what would the column dimensions be ?

Dear Ravi

           You should send plan of the proposed building. without sitution one cannot be able to give any proper solution of the problem.You can take local help from any engineer or Architect.
