Question

Example 6.3: Design a slab consisting of eight panels of 8 m x 3. 5 m clear dimensions that are continuous along their longitudinal edges and are supported on 300 mm wide beans Office live load is to be used along with a floor finish load of 300 kg/m and 200 kgm mmovable partition load. Use C-20 concrete, Grade 280 steel and US Customary bars Solution A unit strip of slab, taken along the shorter direction, acts as a continuous beam and is shows in Fig, 6.5. H- -t I m strip | 8 m L. 3.8 m Fig. 6.5. Continuous One-Way Slab of Example 6.3 3500+300-3.8 t

Can someone explain how these factored moments have been calculated in the second image. I can't understand this exterior support and exterior span and interior support and exterior span and why we have calculated 5 moments when panels are 8. Explain all this
