Yield Line Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Slab Carrying Concentrated Loading

Yield line analysis of reinforced concrete slab, simply supported on two sides perpendicular to the span and free on the other two sides, carrying concentrated load at different locations is carried out by determining the critical failure mechanism and the corresponding equilibrium equation analytically. Such slabs are often encountered in the form of culverts with concentrated vehicular loads. In practice, elastic methods of analysis are used...
