FLAT PLATES AND SLABS 505 We may therefore assume that the stress will vary across asection approximately in the form of a parabola, so that themaximum stress will be 15 times the mean stress; this wouldrequire the thickness at the centre to be \/l5 = 122, say 125times the thickness given by the ordinary treatment of BachsTheory. In our example this would make t for diagonal consideration= 96, which agrees quite well with the Grashof-R-ankine theory. Variations of Bachs Theory.—There is reason to believethat the pressure in rectangular slabs is greater at the cen
