wN/x and wN/y are the two rotations about the y- and
x-axes, respectively, at the Nth node) and corresponding
element nodal forces. Nodal displacements for a plate
element are acquired by solving the global structure
equilibrium equation. Element nodal displacements can
then be used to compute internal forces needed for slab
design, usually based on one of two approaches: moment
fields using moment-curvature relations (the classical
approach) or element nodal forces using the element
stiffness matrix.

Although this Code intended to allow more liberal
reinforcement arrangements, its noted that the resisting
moments calculated with equal to one are the most
economical solutions.2
CEB-FIP Model Code
According to Sections 6.4.1 and 6.5.4 of CEB-FIP Model
Code,10 a slab section is divided into three layers, each
with 1/3 of the slab thickness. Then, bending moments
are decomposed into a couple of tensile and compressive
normal forces and twisting moments are decomposed
into a couple of in-plane shear forces acting at top and
bottom layers of the slab. The sandwiched inner layer is
used for transverse shear. The internal lever arm between
the top and bottom shear forces due to the twisting
moment may be taken as 2/3 the overall slab thickness.
These normal and shear forces due to moments are
combined with membrane (in-plane) forces. Finally, slab
reinforcement is proportioned to satisfy equilibrium
conditions at each top and bottom layer in the two
orthogonal directions. More detailed derivations for this
method can be found elsewhere.11
