Practical Yield Line Design

parhyang · 12-27-2010, 07:55 AM

An introduction to the practical use of Yield Line Theory in the design of economic reinforced concrete slabs, including examples of design of flat slabs, raft foundations and refurbishment.

The aim of this publication is to (re-) introduce practical designers to the use of Yield Line Design. The intention is to give an overall appreciation of the method and comprehensive design guidance on its application to the design of some common structural elements. It assumes that the user has sufficient experience to recognise possible failure patterns and situations where further investigation is required.

The basic principles of Yield Line theory are explained and its application as a versatile method for the design and assessment of reinforced concrete slabs is demonstrated. Theory is followed by practical examples and the accompanying commentary gives insights into the years of experience brought to bear by the main author, Gerard Kennedy.

The publication is intended as a designer’s aid and not an academic paper. It commits to paper a practical approach to the use of Yield Line for the design of concrete slabs. It gives guidance on how to tackle less simple problems, such as the design of flat slabs, rafts, refurbishment and slab-beam systems. Whilst the publication covers the design of common elements, it is an introduction, not a comprehensive handbook: in more exacting circumstances, designers are advised to consult more specialist literature. The examples are practical ones that may be followed, but should not be extended too far without reference to more specialist literature.

Yield Line Theory challenges designers to use judgement and not to rely solely on computer analysis and design. Once grasped, Yield Line Theory is exceedingly easy to put into practice and everyone in the procurement chain benefits. Simple design leads to simple details that are fast to detail and fast to fix. Current initiatives such as Egan [4] and partnering, etc, should challenge designers to revisit and re-evaluate the technique.
