Title: Finite Element Analysis in Design of Floor Systems
Abstract: An analysis is presented of the factors that have contributed to the finite element method not being used as a design office tool for the elastic analysis of floor systems. Suggestions are made which attempt to make the finite element method more attractive for this purpose. A computer program incorporating some of these features is reported on and its use is demonstrated in the analysis of an example design problem. The relative merits of the finite element method and more traditional analysis techniques are considered.
