This moment is to be divided in the ratio of 2 negative :
1 positive.
Negative moment = 2/3 19.28 = 12.86 kN-m/m

Knowing myn and k, the distance of maximum
positive moment from the left end (x) may be
found by considering the shear force (taken
due to forces on the right hand side) at
maximum positive moment point to be zero as
follows:
kq ℓy /4 + q(ℓy/4 x) = 0
x = ℓy /4 k ℓy/4

The moments in the x-direction edge strips
are one-half of those in the middle strip.
The moments in the middle y-direction strip

The moments in the left edge strip will be half
of the above values.
For the edge strip near unsupported end (strong
band), the moments may conservatively be
found by considering the load (1 + k)q on the
full span.
Hence the moments will be (1 + k) times

A larger part of the load still has a natural
tendency to go along the shorter path.
However, due to unavailability of a solid support
at one edge and the deflections of the strong
band, the transfer of load in this direction is
reduced to some extent.
The strips along the longer span have to take
more share of load as compared to a slab where
all the edges are supported.
Even in such circumstances, a significant
portion of the load is carried in the shorter
direction and the strong band has to
withstand more load than the other long
strips.
For the y-direction strip along section 15-15, as
shown in Fig. 13.43, we have:

Referring to Fig. 3.44, let = 0.2 to evaluate
the strong band width.

Fig. 13.45, the following may be written:
3.860 0.7 + 5.916 (2.8 – y) = 0
y = 2.343 m
Shear force at the continuous end is equal to
