This document provides an overview of two-way prestressed concrete floor systems. It discusses several analysis and design methods, including:
1. The semielastic ACI Code approach, which uses either the direct design method or equivalent frame method.
2. The yield-line method, which is based on classical elasticity but accounts for inelastic behavior and failure mechanisms.
3. Limit analysis theories for plates, which aim to determine lower bound and upper bound solutions for collapse loads.
4. The stripe method, which models the floor system using orthogonal stress fields.
The document emphasizes that two-way slabs and plates exhibit true two-way flexural behavior with bending resistance in both orthogonal
