although there will be a small moment in the orthogonal direction in practice it is neglected. According to classical plate theory‚ a two way spanning slab is subject to the following forces; Mx‚ My‚ Mxy‚ Myx‚ Vx and Vy. In practice we only design for Mx and My and provide restraint against twisting at corners (applies to external slabs). Slab analysis can be undertaken using grillages or finite element analysis. In this course we will only examine simple techniques including the yield
