In this paper, based on E. Reissner's theory for the rectangular plate with three built-in edges and a free edge a system of series solution is obtained and this and its equivalent of the classic solution are compared respecting the influence of their different setting of boundary conditions for the free edge on the preceding results including the transverse shear effect which is a major consideration in this case of structure but seems to have insufficiently been investigated. Sets of data thus provided are further used here in examining shear stresses in actual tested reinforced concrete slab models that have undergone failure of shear type.
