how will distribute the slab load to the beams

muthupalani

please give some example

Hai,


The load is distributed from slab to the beams that is connected to the slab. The nature of load distribution is governed by two main parameters; the ratio of long span (Ly) to shorter span (Lx) AND the fixity of the slab.

If the slab is a simply supported at all edge, and the ratio of Ly/Lx is less than 2, the load is distributed from the slab to the beam by two directions; whereas if the Ly/Lx is greater and equal to 2, the load is distributed in the shorter direction to the beam.
