FIG. 42<br />

it is noted that the origin of co6rdinates coincides with the loaded<br />

central point of the <strong>rectangular</strong> panel, the slab is non-deflecting at<br />

all supports, is <strong>continuous</strong> across the supports at x = ±b/2, and is<br />

simply supported on the edges y = ± a/2. Let the total deflection<br />

of the slab be denoted by wi <strong>for</strong> 0 < x < b/2. An equation <strong>for</strong><br />

this deflection may be obtained from Equations (47) and (48) provided<br />

that proper corrections are made <strong>for</strong> the changed positions of<br />

the load and axes. One finds<br />
