Assignment 3

This document contains 3 practice problems related to determining the required moment parameter (m) for reinforced concrete slabs given various load intensities and slab configurations. Problem 1 involves a simple rectangular slab with a uniform load. Problem 2 examines a slab with an opening, comparing the m values with and without the opening. Problem 3 involves a non-uniform load on a slab divided into two areas.
