The concrete slab shown in Figure is 7m x 5m. The slab is not supported along one of the 7m long edges (free edge). The other three edges are supported and continuous over the supports, and therefore can be considered fixed edges. The slab is isotropically reinforced with an ultimate bending moment capacity of 20 kNm/m in the positive direction. The bending moment, which causes tension at the bottom, is taken as the positive moment. Along the fixed edges, the slab is reinforced to have a negative bending moment capacity of 1.33 times the positive bending moment capacity. Slab is expected to support a uniformly distributed load. Using Hillerborg's strip method, calculate the ultimate uniformly distributed load that the slab can support. 5 m X 7 m Y The concrete slab shown in Figure is 7m x 5m.
