Long and short spans of a two way slab are $${l_{\text{y}}}$$ and $${l_{\text{x}}}$$ and load on the slab acting on strips parallel to $${l_{\text{x}}}$$ and $${l_{\text{y}}}$$ be wx and wy respectively. According to Rankine Grashoff theory
A. $$\frac{{{{\text{w}}_{\text{x}}}}}{{{{\text{w}}_{\text{y}}}}} = \frac{{{l_{\text{y}}}}}{{{l_{\text{x}}}}}$$
B. $$\frac{{{{\text{w}}_{\text{x}}}}}{{{{\text{w}}_{\text{y}}}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{l_{\text{y}}}}}{{{l_{\text{x}}}}}} \right)^2}$$
C. $$\frac{{{{\text{w}}_{\text{x}}}}}{{{{\text{w}}_{\text{y}}}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{l_{\text{y}}}}}{{{l_{\text{x}}}}}} \right)^4}$$
D. None of these
