To determine shear forces and bending moments in continuous beams and one way slabs:

A. For positive moment:

End span : if discontinuous end is unrestrained WL'^2 / 11 (e.g., hinged or propped


if discontinuous end is integral with the support wL'^2 / 14 (e.g., monolithic concret
interior spans wL'^2 / 16

B. For Negative Moment:

Negative moment at exterior face of first interior support


Two spans - wL^2 / 9
More than two spans - wl^2 / 10

Negative moments at other faces of interior supports wL^2 / 11

Negative moment at face of all supports for


a) Slabs with spans not exceeding 3 m - wL^2 / 12
b) beams and girders when the ratio of sum of column
stiffness exceeds 8 at each end of the span - wL^2 / 12

Negative moment at interior faces of exteriorsupports,


for members built integrally with their supports
a) where the support is a spandrel beam or girder - wL^2 / 24
b) where the support is a column - wL'^2 / 16

C. Shear forces

Shear in end members at first interior support 1.15 w L'/ 2


shear at all other support wL'/ 2
(e.g., hinged or propped)
(e.g., monolithic concrete, welded steel or bolted RC-steel section connection)
