At the points of the slab (in this case of the cantilever) where fixed transverse support exist, nu-
merous peaks are created, mainly for shears (in this case 130.8 and 138.6 kN) and secondarily
for moments. These regions are forced to carry large part of the load of the adjacent slabs main-
ly near the supports. This is the reason why the occurrence of high shears shortly before and
shortly after the support. However, these shears are taken into account in detail by considering
their average values in a width, e.g. 1.0 m, which equals to 47.0 kN (‘Slab Results’).

The positive peak moments forming a sharp “hole”, at the region of the support exactly behind
the cantilever, results from the negative load created at this region by the cantilever’s moment.
Notice that the influence of the strong cantilever, both in negative and positive moments, de-
creases in a small distance from the cantilever support.
The insignificant differences in values of moments Mx between ‘FEM results’ and ‘Slab results’
are due to the relatively small curvature of the 3D moment diagram Mx.
