W.L. Griffin, Suzanne Y. O'Reilly and N.J. Pearson GEMOC, Dept of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, NSW 2109, Australia [email protected] It has become conventional wisdom that xenoliths of eclogite and garnet pyroxenite derived from cratonic subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) represent fragments of subducted ocean floor, implying that the SCLM has grown by a litho...

The research and analysis of technical conditions, deflections, bearing capacity subjected to fire impact reinforced concrete slabs raised “panel per room” typical design model 1-480a a five-storey residential building in Lviv are present. A study the condition floor structures area high temperatures. In intense decrease rigidity shelf tent slab under action temperatures was found. Due impact, ...

This paper uses computational simulation to investigate the lateral load-displacement behavior and failure modes of a modern 14-story reinforced concrete (RC) core wall building. The design complies with minimum code requirements current California Building Code, which is based on ASCE 7–16 ACI 318–14. representation building, accounts for material nonlinearities all structural components, empl...

Disturbance/discomfort caused by vibrations, induced pedestrian walking on slabs in residential/office buildings, is a typical design issue for lightweight slender slabs, including prestressed concrete ones. Precast are typically made with pretensioned members which allow only partial collaboration the transverse slab direction, becomes even less effective when they dry-assembled without cast-i...

Cost is an important factor in choosing the type of floor or slab used any construction. When a large space within building needs to be covered without hindrance and supports, waffle ribbed slabs are used. For all systems, cost constitutes significant portion overall structure. Therefore, this research aims select preferable system with least construction for shopping mall. Computer-aided desig...

The problem of calculating transient heat transfer in concrete floor slabs is complicated due to ground coupling, which can require the numerical solution of two or three-dimensional transient conduction equations. This paper presents a simplified method for calculating transient slab-on-ground heat transfer that can be incorporated within hourly simulation programs. The method assumes that the...
