    slabs are horizontal structural elements used to create floors, roofs, or ceilings, while beams are horizontal or inclined elements that support and transfer loads to vertical elements. Slabs distribute loads to beams or walls, while beams transfer loads to columns or walls. Both slabs and beams play crucial roles in the overall structural integrity of a building or structure.
