Consider two strips AB and ED at mid-span.
Deflection at central point C is the same.

Shorter span strip, DE, supports heavier portion of load
and is subject to larger moment.
Assumption supports are unyielding
If the supports of the single panel is flexible, e.g. beams,
columns, etc. the distribution of moment is more
complex.
Degree of stiffness of yielding support determines the
intensity of the steepness of the curvature contours in the
l
x
and l
y
direction and redistribution of moments.

Shear Reinforcement

Due to the limited depth special
reinforcement are required involving the
use of shear heads and anchor bars and
wires.
