Question: A 1 7 5 m m thick slab is fixed on three sides and has a rectangular opening. Use the Yield Line Method to design

A 175mm thick slab is fixed on three sides and has a rectangular opening. Use the Yield Line Method
to design the flexural reinforcement based on the assumed failure mechanism shown (dashed lines).
The total factored load applied on the slab is 15kPa including self-weight. Sketch TWO possible
alternative failure mechanisms, but do not iterate your design. [30%]
