Book excerpt: Excerpt from Test of a Hollow Tile and Concrete Floor Slab Reinforced in Two Directions The purpose of the test herein reported was to Obtain data which would afford, a basis for the design of a concrete and hollow tile floor reinforced in two directions. The test was planned to Obtain information on: (1) The effect Of variation in the ratio of length to width Of panels upon the bending moments in two di rections at right angles to each other, (2) the relation Of maximum negative moment to maximum positive moment in a given panel, (3) distribution Of tensile and compressive stresses at sections Of maximum negative and maximum positive moment, (4) the amount Of deflection Of the slab and girders under different load ings, (5) the length of reinforcement required to give proper anchorage beyond points of support, and (6) the extent to which the tiles share in resisting the compressive stresses and the shear ing stresses in the slab.
