Yield line method of analysis of slabs:Characteristic features of
yield lines– analysis by virtual work method – Yield line analysis
by equilibrium method, Design of grid floor – Approximate
method– Rigorous method (Concept only).
Module II

recommendations– IS code method of design (with and without
drop).
