The Constructor

Some examples of the occurrence of concentrated loads on a slab are a column, particularly on a pad foundation, and wheel loads. Turning the structure upside down we get a flat slab supported by a column, where there is a high concentration of shear force around the column head. Eventually the slab will fail.
