Reference problem
=====================


Geometry
---------

It is a square slab, :math:`l\mathrm{=}1.8m` long, :math:`h=0.12m` thick, on simple bilateral supports. The flexure reinforcement is parallel to the edges; it is identical on each of both faces and in each of the two directions (:math:`\mathrm{dx}`, :math:`\mathrm{dy}` being the spacings of the bars in the directions :math:`x` and :math:`y`). The coating of the longitudinal bars closest to the faces is :math:`22\mathrm{mm}`. The coating of the irons in relation to the lateral edges of the :math:`2\mathrm{cm}` slab is neglected. The table below summarizes the reinforcement data. The geometric percentage of steel :math:`\mu` is given for one face in one direction.

We note :math:`{a}_{x}=\frac{{A}_{x}}{{d}_{x}}`, :math:`{a}_{y}\mathrm{=}\frac{{A}_{y}}{{d}_{y}}` the reinforcement rates (here: :math:`{a}_{x}\mathrm{=}{a}_{y}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{7,854}\mathrm{.}{10}^{\mathrm{-}4}m`), with :math:`{A}_{x}({A}_{y})` being the section of an iron bar in the :math:`x(y)` direction; :math:`{e}_{z}` the distance of the sheets from the mean surface.


Material properties
-----------------------

The characteristics of steels are as follows:


.. csv-table::

    "Young's Modulus :math:`{E}_{a}` ", "Poisson's Ratio", "Elastic limit at 0.2% :math:`{\sigma }_{y}` ", "Fracture limit :math:`{\sigma }_{r}` ", "Work hardening slope", "Elongation at break"
    ":math:`210000\mathrm{MPa}` ", "0.3"," :math:`500\mathrm{MPa}` "," "," :math:`570\mathrm{MPa}` "," :math:`473\mathrm{MPa}` "," :math:`15\text{\%}`"


Those of concrete are as follows:


.. csv-table::

    "Young's Module :math:`{E}_{b}` ", "Poisson's Ratio", "Compressive Strength, :math:`{\sigma }_{c}` ", "Tensile Strength, :math:`{\sigma }_{t}`"
    ":math:`35700\mathrm{MPa}` ", "0.22"," :math:`\mathrm{52,5}\mathrm{MPa}` "," :math:`\mathrm{4,4}\mathrm{MPa}`"



Boundary conditions and loads
-------------------------------------

The boundary conditions boil down to simple supports: blocked vertical movement and free rotations on two opposite edges, the other two edges remaining free.

Uniform pressure: :math:`p=0.01\mathrm{MPa}`


Initial conditions
