The area bounded by the yield lines and supports are called a panel. The significance of the assumption that panels are plane surfaces is that it defines the geometrical relationships […]
EK89
It is assumed that each of the panels formed by the supports and yield lines is a flat plate. The bending deformation within the panels is ignored because the overall […]
EK88
Have a rectangular slab simply supported along each edge, carrying a uniformly distributed load throughout. The slab is assumed to be of constant depth and reinforced in each direction parallel […]
EK79
If we assume that the uniformly distributed load is that which causes a full pattern of yield lines to be produced, i.e. a collapse mechanism, we have an ultimate load […]
