A simply supported, uniformly loaded, two-way slab panel is torsionally unrestrained. The effective span lengths along the short span (x) and long span (y) directions of the panel are lx and ly, respectively. The design moments for the reinforcements along the x and y directions are Mux and Muy, respectively. By using Rankine-Grashoff method, the ratio Mux/Muy is proportional to
- lx / ly
- ly / lx
- (lx / ly)2
- (ly / lx)2
The Correct Option is D
