Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has had any success applying plate bending formulas, such as those found in Roarks Formulas for Stress and Strain, to 2-way concrete slab design. In particular I'm interested in a case with 3 edges simply supported and one edge free. (I dont have the FEM software to check the output, but maybe that's the way to confirm this). I'm questioning the deflection calculations more so than actual stress. I would guess as long as the moment is below cracking moment then results should be close (?). Any and all thoughts appreciated.
