The finite element method is commonly used to design the reinforcement in concrete slabs, in order to simplify the analysis and to be able to use the superposition principle for evaluating the effect of load combinations, linear analysis is generally adopted even though concrete slabs normally have a pronounced non-linear response.
The present recommendations apply to concrete slab and shell structures subjected primarily to bending effects with limited membrane effects, i.e. slab and shell structures subjected to loading in a direction normal to the plane of the structure.
