Composite Action of Beams and Slabs under Transverse Loading. (IV) The Rectangular Slab with Four Ed

The problem considered in this paper is that of a rectangular slab of uniform thickness strengthened by four edge-beams; it is loaded transversely and supported at its corners on rigid stanchions. Symmetry of geometry and of loading is taken to exist about both the axes x = 0 and y = 0 (Fig 1).
