AbstractThe torsional and flexural rigidities of orthogonally eccentrically stiffened slabs were investigated experimentally and the results are compared with those obtained from various theoretical methods. The parameters involved in this study are the height of ribs, number of transverse ribs and height of longitudinal ribs with no transversals. The desired variations were obtained by milling down the two original asbestos cement models, each about 22.5 in. x 18 in. in dimension. The variations resulted into eight models each of which was subjected to anticlastic corner loads, cylindrical bending and eccentric loading tests. The theoretical values of the flexural rigidities obtained from the different methods of approach considered were found to be in agreement with experimental values. For torsional rigidities, the values suggested by NISHINO, PAMA and LEE give the closest correlation with the experimental results.
