Basic assumptions are proposed for the continuity model of a tubular hollow slab combined with continuity analysis and calculation of a finite-element model; the continuity Equation of a tubular hollow slab at the minor axis supported at two ends of the hollow axle under a vertical even load is determined and solved. The overall equivalent flexural rigidity is then determined, which provides important conditions for the continuity analysis of tubular hollow floor supported along four sides.
