- Abstract
The paper deals with the case of a uniformly loaded slab simply supported on two parallel rigid supports and also supported by equally spaced elastic cross beams. The slab is supposed to be of infinite length parallel to the rigid supports. The plate equation is solved taking the boundary conditions of a panel into account, and the bending moments at various points computed.
The results are summarised by means of simple approximate formulae which take account of the proportions of a panel and the relative stiffness of the slab and cross beams.
