Condition applied (Nilson, 14ed):

1. There must be a minimum of three continuous spans in each direction
2. The panels must be rectangular, with the ratio of the longer to the shorter spans
within a panel not greater than 2.
3. The successive span lengths in each direction must not differ by more than onethird
of the longer span.
4. Columns may be offset a maximum of 10 percent of the span in the direction of
the offset from either axis between centerlines of successive columns.
5. Loads. must be due to gravity only, and the unfactored live load must not exceed
2 times the unfactored dead load.
6. If beams are used on the column lines, the relative stiffness of the beams in the
two perpendicular directions, given by the ratio afln/af 2n, must be between 0.2
and 5.0.
