This paper shows how the method of break lines has evolved over the years. Nowadays, with computers, coloured contours can be used to obtain results very similar to the old break lines, but the field of applications has been opened, especially in reinforced concrete slabs. The SAP2000 finite element programme with all its computer equipment was used for this purpose. In addition, it constitutes the theoretical basis of a thesis that the authors are developing, but in this case with slabs supported on the ground.
