[Srinivasan]

If K is a constant depending upon the ratio of the width of the slab to its effective span l, x is the
distance of the concentrated load from the nearer support, bw is the width of the area of contact
of the concentrated load measured parallel to the supported edge, the effective width of the
slab be is

(A) K/x (1 + x/d) + bw

(B) Kx (1 - x/l) + bw

(C) Kx (1 + x/l) + bw

(D) All the above

The correct Answer Is
(B) Kx (1 - x/l) + bw

of the concentrated load measured parallel to the supported edge, the effective width of the
slab be is

(B) Kx (1 - x/l) + bw
