The present study deals with the finite element modelling of control RC slabs and strengthened slabs with the help of ANSYS. ANSYS is software that is based on FE method in which modelling of RC structures is done. In this study, a control slab was modelled and the results were analysed and then strengthened slabs were modelled and analysed. The results of the control and strengthened slabs wer...

Presence of non-metallic inclusions & macro-flaws (cracks, pin holes/blow holes, segregation etc.), in a large number, in first and last continuously cast (CC) slabs of a sequence of casting, makes the CC slabs inferior in quality. Due to this problem these slabs were being downgraded and a huge loss in net realization was observed due to the difference in the prices of downgraded and prime gra...

As a counterpart to results for thin carbon foam slabs in the main manuscript, we present in the following results for thicker carbon foam structures. The optimized structure of sp− and sp−terminated n−honeycomb thick slabs with n = 3, 5, 7 is shown in Fig. S1. The slab surfaces are the same as for the thinner slabs in the main manuscript. Unlike in the thin slabs, sp sites are both at the surf...

A semi-slab of precast concrete (or half-slab) is a structural system that consists at the bottom half slab and cast in situ top. To avoid traditional formwork minimize slab, this section can function as reduce thickness slabs, which makes their transportation easy. The interface between overtopping effective for system's performance. improve half-slab floor system, it needed to have shear conn...

the hot charging of continuously cast slabs steel is usually considered an effective method to reduce theenergy consumption in the hot rolling mills. in this work the application and optimizing of hot charging ofcontinuously cast slab in mobareke steel company has been investigated. mathematical relationship betweenthe cooling time of the stack of slabs and its mass average temperature is descr...

this paper presents a cuckoo optimization algorithm (coa) model for the cost optimization of the one-way and two-way reinforced concrete (rc) slabs according to aci code. the objective function is the total cost of the slabs including the cost of the concrete and that of the reinforcing steel. in this paper, one-way and two-way slabs with various end conditions are formulated as aci code. the t...

On the basis of test evidence a new design method has been recently developed by one of the authors, for calculating the performance of composite flooring systems subject to fire. The method models simply the influence of tensile membrane action in the composite floor slabs. The objective of this paper is to show some detailed comparisons between the simple design method and finite element mode...
