 AS3600 - Section 6
Section 6 – Analysis Methods for slabs and beams
 One-way slab and band beams (Cl. 6.10.2)
 One-way slab and narrow reinforced beams (Cl. 6.10.2)
 Limitations:
– Ratio of adjacent spans cannot exceed 1.2
– Loads are essentially uniformly distributed
– Imposed load Q does not exceed twice the permanent load G (Q < 2G).

 One -Way Slab and Beam Analysis
Coefficient method for analysis (Cl. 6.10.2):

Ln is clear span (i.e. face to face of beams/columns/walls)

𝐹𝐹𝑑𝑑 is uniformly distributed design load factored for strength and serviceability appropriately
