    The Wood and Armer method incorporates twisting moments into slab design by ensuring that the moment in any direction due to design bending and twisting moments (Mx, My, Mxy) does not exceed the ultimate resisting moment provided by the reinforcement in that direction (Mux and Muα). Mx, My and Mxy are obtained from structural analysis, while Mux and Muα depend on the reinforcement layout and properties. This method aims to prevent yielding in slabs in all directions based on Johansen's yield criterion.

    Wood and Armer method

    Wood and Armer proposed one of the most popular design methods that explicitly
    incorporate twisting moments in slab design. This method was developed by considering
    the normal moment yield criterion (Johansen’s yield criterion) aiming to prevent yielding
    in all directions. At any point in the slab, the moment normal to a direction, resulting due
    to design moments Mx, My, and Mxy, must not exceed the ultimate normal resisting
    moment in that direction. The ultimate normal resisting moment is typically provided by
    ultimate resisting moments Mux and Muα related to the reinforcement in the x- and α-
    directions.

    Mx, My and Mxy are bending and twisting moments, usually obtained from a finite
    element or grillage analysis program. The sign convension needs to be altered if it is
    different from above. α is the angle of the transverse steel, measured clockwise, from the
    Mx axis.

    M*x = Moment to be resisted by reinforcement in the x direction


    M* α = Moment to be resisted by reinforcement in the a direction
