Most of the methods of load distribution for slabs are derived from the elastic analysis of thin plates. For multiple panels in both directions, a checker board style of loading is usually used for the placement of live loads to get maximum positive and negative moments.

Mohannad H. Al-Sherrawi

Dear George Bekas,

Piepe-Mrartens method is one of elastic analysis methods. It is simple and effective for practical reinforced concrete slab analysis developed by Pieper and Martens in 1966.
