Abstract
Experimental tests on reinforced concrete slabs with
different boundary conditions have been used in a finite
element simulation process to develop reliable prediction
models, each model representing a class of slabs and having
a unique set of parameter values and computational
conditions. The finite element models have been used in the
prediction of a large number of 'numerical model' slabs
resulting from the combination of various geometric and
material properties. The data of ultimate loads and
corresponding deflections generated, and the equations
developed are used to develop a knowledge based system
for obtaining design information on arbitrary slabs having
different boundary conditions. The resulting software could
be used for teaching and design purposes.
