which is valid when 0 < x < v. In this equation the quantities<br />

having primes are each equal to the corresponding unprimed quantities<br />

evaluated at Ei1 = E21 2 =<br />

o . The unprimed quantities are<br />

stated in Appendix B.<br />

If the slab is cut on the line x = 0, thus dividing it into two<br />

<strong>rectangular</strong> <strong>slabs</strong> simply supported on all edges, the deflection <strong>for</strong><br />

0 < x < v may be found from Section 20 to be<br />

The difference between (205) and (206) is, there<strong>for</strong>e, a corrective<br />

deflection function which provides <strong>for</strong> the continuity across the center<br />

beam.<br />

After substituting the values of a', c', d', k' and f, into this equation,<br />

and reducing the resulting expression, one finds<br />
