Study Notes

Yield Lines and Yield Line Theory

  • Yield lines are lines of maximum yielding moments of the concrete slab.
  • Yield line theory is based only on factored load analysis.
  • Over-reinforced slabs tend to crack at collapse loads, which marks the beginning of the cracking process.
  • Yield lines develop gradually as cracks in the slab propagate.
