The study demonstrates and evaluates an approach in the structural analysis phase when assessing reinforced concrete slabs.Due to different values of a parameter in the tests’ results, 10 models was crated for the first case study and 4 models for the second one.In order to compare the results in terms of the flexural bearing capacity, the slabs were analyzed by using elastic finite element analysis and yield-line analysis.Comparing the results shows that minor modification in the parameters associated with bearing capacity and the boundary conditions can affect the adequacy factor considerably, while the parameters those relate to boundary conditions affect the distribution of the yield lines.
