is conducted. The moment coefficients given in the Code IS 456:200(Table 26) for two-way rectangular slabs with various possible edge conditions are based on Yield Line Analysis. Yield line analysis is the equivalent for a two -dimensional flexural member (plate or slab) of the limit analysis of a one-dimensional member (continuous beam), Yield lines Typical crack patterns generated when ultimate moment is reached Characteristics of yield lines are, i) Yield lines are straight ii) Yield lines end at supporting edges of slab iii) Yield lines passes through intersection of axis of rotation of adjacent slab elements iv) Axis of rotation lies along lines of supports and passes over columns
4. The bending and twisting moments are uniformly distributed along the yield lines. The maximum values of the moments depend on the capacities of the section based on the amount of reinforcement provided in the section. 5. The yield lines are straight lines as they are the lines of intersection between two planes.
