Repeat Problem 20-8 for the load located at the interior of the slab.

What will be an ideal response?


Determine the stress at the interior of the slab using Equation 20.10.



From Problem 20-8,

b = 3.57 inches

l = 32.38

Use Equation 20.10 to determine the tensile stress imposed.



Therefore, the tensile stress imposed on this slab will be 16.1 lb/in2.
