Can anyone have the procedure of Equivalent frame method For designing the flat slab?
Are there any disadvantages to using the equivalent frame method?
One potential disadvantage of the equivalent frame method is that it does not take into account the nonlinear behavior of flat slabs due to cracking and deflection. Additionally, the method assumes that the frames are rigid and do not deform, which may not always be the case in reality.
