Example 18: Simply supported slab
Description of the problem
To examine the accuracy of the calculation of Finite
elements-method and the convergence characteristics of the stiffness matrix, the maximum values
of deflection w,
moments mx,
my
and
mxy
of a simply supported rectangular slab are
obtained at different nets of finite elements. The slab carries a uniform distributed load of
p
= 100 [kN/m2]
as shown in Figure 28. The
Young's
modulus of the slab material is
Eb
= 1.2*10 [kN/m ] and
Poisson's
ratio is νb=
0 [-]. The slab thickness is d
= 0.1 [m]. |
