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.
