Abstract
"This study was made to analyze rectangular flat plates by the method of Reaction Distribution and to compare results obtained by this method with that of other methods. The basic approach is to divide the plate into an equivalent grid system and introduce temporary supports at the intersecting joints. The results from this study shows that the Reaction Distribution method is useful in a qualitative analysis of the behavior in a plate but is less satisfactory in obtaining reliable quantitative results"--Abstract, page 2.
