The basic difference between one way and two way slab is load distribution which is depends on support condition and span lengths.Mainly shorter span is carring larger load than longer span.This load distribution can be calculated considering the deflection at any point is same Shorter and Longer Span.

Two way slab (slab supported on all four sides) is more economical and allowable deflection is more when compared to one way slab.

Two way slab is provided where L/B ratio is less than 2, whereas one way is provided where L/B ratio is more than 2,
Moreover, in case of two way slab bending is in both the axis while in one way bending is in only in one dimension.
Flat slabs are the ones with or without drop panels supported by columns without beams.... whereas the solid slabs are the ones supported by beams and columns and constructed monolithically
A slab long side is large then the two times of its short side is called one way slab.
A slab long side is short then the two times of its short side is called Two way slab
if LY/LX>2 than we use one way slab if <2 than use two way slab.One way slab supported only two direction and two way slab supported in all four direction.
Waffle slabs are two-way spanning slabs whose beams(in two diresctions) are at very close centres whereas a ribbed slab is a one way spanning slab whose secondary beams are at very close centres, but not their primary beams.
Ans: One way slab is the slab having ratio of longer span to shorter span equal to or more than 1.5 . If the ratio of longer span to shorter span is equal to or less than 1.5, then such slabs are called as two way slab. In one way slab main tensile reinforcement is placed parellel to shorter side which will be the main steel, where as in two way slab both direction required main steel.
a slab whose length and breadth ratio is more than two is called one way slab
It's a case two.. in which a slab has three continuous sides (i.e. three sides are followed by other slabs ).
