Abstract	Microcomputer finite element analysis of reinforced concrete slab systems can now be routinely performed to produce realistic numerical simulation of 3-dimensional structural behavior. However, an efficient use of this approach requires an automated integration of design and analysis procedures. Guidelines for proper finite element modelling of slab systems are first presented along with simple post-processing algorithms to perform automatically the design or verifications from the analytical results. Numerical applications on simple slab systems subjected to uniform and concentrated loads are then used to illustrate the relative performance between finite element analyses and the equivalent frame method.
