Detailed 3−D analyses of various slab systems suggest
that an approximate value of the torsional stiffness can
be obtained by assuming a torque distribution along the
torsional member that varies linearly from a maximum
at the center of the column to zero at the middle of the
panel, as shown in Fig. 12.38(a).

For poisson’s ratio approximately considered equal to
zero, G = E / 2. Considering x = 0, the total rotation of the
free end with respect to the column may be calculated as
follows:
l 2 (1 − c 2 l 2 )

The average rotation, θav, of the slab end may be found by
evaluating the area of diagram-e and dividing by the
length, l2.
