Author(s): John C. Bell and David G. Elms

Publication: Symposium Paper

Volume: 30

Issue:

Appears on pages(s): 325-344

Abstract:
A method is given for a computer analysis of a reinforced concrete slab which predits the complete behavior of the slab and produces deflections and crack patterns for the total range of loading from zero to ultimate.
