Yield line theory for concentrated load and modelling

[s_saranya]

Hi,

1) I need to distribute a concentrated load to the beams as Uniformly Distributed Load(UDL) using Yield line theory, which is acting at the centre of slab. Slabs (two way) are not modelled, but the the slab weight is transferred to beam as UDL.

2) If the slabs are not modelled, how to place a SDOF system which is acting at the centre of slab?

Please clarify.

Please clarify what you mean. What is the purpose of the SDOF system? What do you need? What software do you have in mind? What is this for?

The purpose of SDOF system is to simulate a machine. And to study its behaviour under dynamic analysis. I am doing in SAP 2000

Further clarification is needed. What you're describing isn't what YLA is used for.

YLA is used for computing the collapse load of plates or slabs subject to out-of-plane loads. There's probably a way to get the reaction along the edges of the plate. I don't see how it applies to dynamic loads, and it's not a feature of SAP2000.
