If warping is prevented by rigid supports at the ends of the member, the torsional stiffness is increased and longitudinal tensile and compressive stresses are induced.

Since slabs are often rather flexible structures, the changes in geometry sometimes have a considerable effect on the load-carrying capacity. These effects are called membrane effects and one speaks about […]
