heal.abstract	The analysis and design of ground-floor slabs has traditionally been based on maximum principal tensile stresses computed in accordance with elastic principles, despite the growing trend to apply plastic methods in design. Existing elastic guidelines stem from approximations derived nearly a century ago and their reappraisal is long overdue. In the present paper, an updated set of design equations - which, for practical purposes, may be said to be 'exact' - is presented and is shown to be more efficient than current plastic methods. These new rules appear to show considerable savings over current design guidelines when permissible stress is the governing criterion.	en
