SOLUTIONS FOR CERTAIN RECTANGULAR SLABS<br />

When the loads are within the central region of the slab, that is<br />

within the middle quarter of the span in either the x or y direction,<br />

Equations (105), evaluated <strong>for</strong> x = u = a/2, may be used <strong>for</strong> an<br />

approximate computation of the corrective moments under the loads.<br />

The approximation is possible because the correction is a symmetrical<br />

edge effect which varies but little <strong>over</strong> the central area of the slab.<br />
