Solved Problem (Yield Line Analysis) : M KNM Per Meter Width Through The Span

1. The maximum uniformly distributed load (UDL) carried by a simply supported one-way slab is determined using yield line analysis. The UDL is equal to 8 times the plastic moment capacity divided by the span length squared. 2. For a two-way simply supported slab, the assumed plastic mechanism involves positive yield lines from each corner meeting at Points A and B. Equating the external and internal work done, an expression for the minimum UDL is derived involving the plastic moment capacities in the x- and y-directions and the location of Points A and B. 3. For the given plastic moment capacities of 20 kNm/m and 15 kNm/m, the minimum UDL is calculated

Solved Problem (Yield Line Analysis)

1. Determine the maximum UDL, w, carried by one way simply supported slab shown
below. The slab is reinforced to provide a resistance to positive bending moment of
mu KNm per meter width through the span.

Soln. 1) Draw yield line pattern:


The maximum moment will occur at mid span and a positive yield line can thus
be drawn as shown below. If this is considered to be subject to a small
displacement ∆ then;

2) Virtual Work Equation:


External Work done (W E) = Internal Work done (W I )
External work done = Area × Load × Average d/s moved by each rigid half of the slab
L ∆ 1

Internal energy absorbed by rotation along the yield line = moment x rotation x length

Thus equating internal energy absorbed with external work done;
W I =W e

∴ w=

2. The two way slab is simply supported on all faces and carries a UDL of q KN /m2.
Determine q if mx =20 KNm /m∧m y =15 KNm /m.

Soln. 1) Draw yield line pattern:


 Select the general plastic mechanism.
The assumed plastic-collapse mechanism is shown in figure below. There are
positive yield lines running diagonally out of each corner where the axes of
rotation for adjacent slab segments intersect and between points A and B. The
locations of point A and the symmetrical pointB.
 Give the slab a virtual displacement.
Assume that the segment of the positive yield line from A ¿ Bis displaced
downward a virtual displacement of ∆. This causes the Slab Segment 1 to
rotate an angle,θ and the slab Segment 2 to rotate an angleβ. The rotations of
the slab segments are:
∆ ∆
θ= ∧, β=
x 2
 Compute the external work.
The two end regions outside of the points A∧Bare essentially two half-
pyramids that can be combined into a single pyramid with a base area( 4∗2 x ).
The central region between points A and B has a triangular cross section and
extends over a length of 7−2 x . Thus, the external work done is;

W ext =W ext ,1 +W ext ,2

 Compute the internal work.
The total internal work is equal to two times the sum of the work done by the
plastic moments acting on slab Segments 1 and 3, and the slab segment 2. For
total internal work is
Internal work done, W ∫ ¿=∑ mLθ ¿

Note: there are 5 moments one span moment in x-direction and 4 span
moments inclined in x-direction and y-direction. This moments are resolved in
two to respective x & y-directions.

 Equate the external and internal work.
