Abstract:New types of precast concrete ribbed panels are developed in order to adapt to the complex loading conditions and different floor spans. Based on the yield line theory, equations for the ultimate bearing capacity and yield patterns of two-way composite slabs of different edge conditions and under uniformly distributed loading are developed, and the simplified formulas for the ultimate moment per unit width are proposed. The plastic limit analyses of two examples on the simple support and the fixed support are conducted, and the calculation results show good agreement with the experimental data.
