Paper No. 6726 THE ?INITE ELEMENT METHOD FORANALYSIS OF ELASTIC'ISOTROPIC AND ORTHOTROPIC SLABS by Olgierd Cecil Zienkiewicz, B.Sc.(Eng.), PhD., M.I.C.E. Professor of Civil Engineering. University of Wales and Yau Kai Cheung Research Fellow, Universityof Wales For written discussion SYNOPSIS The method of finite elements is extended to problems of bending of slabs. The simplicity of formulation and of dealing with boundary conditionsallows hitherto difficult problems of slabs with variable thickness and of orthotropic slabs to be dealt with. The slab can be included in the analysis of a more complex structure involving other types of members (such as beams, columns, etc...
