This document outlines Reynolds' method for calculating equivalent uniform loads from line loads on slabs. It provides an example calculation for a simply supported slab with dimensions Lx=3.5m and Ly=4.3m that is subjected to non-uniform partition wall loads. The loads are converted to modified line loads and then equivalent uniform loads are calculated based on the slab dimensions and support condition coefficients. The maximum equivalent uniform load is determined to be 2.47 kN/m^2.

LOAD CALCULATION Actual loads from partion loads
HCB wall thickness used in the x-direction= 15 cm
HCB wall thickness used in the y-direction= 15 cm Room height= 2.88 m partition wall length in the x-direction= 0.3 m partition wall length in the y-direction= 3.30 m wp1= loads parallel to Lx/Lx 0.75 KN/m wp2= loads parallel to Ly/Ly 6.67 KN/m
Equivalent width(ex) & equivalent length(ey) of slab
slab thickness(g)= 15 cm e x= g+0.6*Lx= 2.55 m g=t+2*D= 0.45 e y= g+0.6*Ly= 3.03 m g=t+2*D= 0.45
SUPPORT CONDITION COEFFICIENTS NOTE:
Cx= 1.7 C= 2 for simply supprted slab Cy= 1.7 = 1.7 for simply supprted slab at one end & cont. at the other end = 1.5 for continuous over both supports
