SOLUTIONS FOR CERTAIN RECTANGULAR SLABS<br />

FiG. 41<br />

central interior line support as shown in Fig. 41. The approximation<br />

is quite good if one lets a = 27b in Equations (207) and (208) and<br />

confines the application of the results to a region 0 < y < 2b.<br />

For convenience, one may use dimensionless variables:<br />

x, = x/(2b), 1<br />

yj = y/(2b), (211)<br />

vi = v/(2b).<br />

Then in the loaded strip, <strong>for</strong> 0 < y < 2b, the deflection of the slab is<br />
