Abstract The possibility of the occurrence a second punching shear failure and Progressive Collapse after had occurred in one flat slab column connection is investigated two building structures, using Eberick SAP2000 softwares Yield Line Method, codes ACI318:2019, EUROCODE2:2004 NBR6118:2014. It shown that connections should be designed detailed to prevent Integrity Reinforcement always present...

There is growing use of FRP composite materials in the civil infrastructure for rehabilitation of deficient bridge components including deck slabs and girders. However assessment of the effectiveness of rehabilitation over time and monitoring the progression of damage or change in load paths between the structural components, caused by sequential strengthening of the components, has not been un...

The objective of this study is to compare conventional models used for estimating the load carrying capacity reinforced concrete (RC) members, i.e., Current Design Codes (CDCs), with method based on different assumptions, Compressive Force Path (CFP) and a non-conventional problem solver, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). For purpose, four databases details critical parameters (i) RC beams in...

Abstract Rectangular columns used in flat-slab structures run the risk of punching shear damage due to stress concentrations, especially when bending moments and vertical forces act together at connections. Using finite element analysis method, existing experiments are numerically simulated using 3D modeling software ABAQUS, describe cracking behavior concrete damaged plasticity model. The accu...

The behaviour of façade anchors in high performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC) has not been investigated sufficient detail recent years. regulations the European Technical Approvals also do fully describe load-bearing capacity anchor systems. Due to increase production HPFRC elements, it is necessary analyse impact added fibers composition on anchors. In particular, filigree which one ma...

Experimental and theoretical investigations were carried out to study the structural behaviour of loaded steel mesh reinforced concrete ground-supported 6.0 m × by 150 mm thick slabs. The aim was benchmark scientific theory with practice. Concentrated loading tests at slab centre; 300 mm, from both edges corners Finite element (FE) numerical modelling results predicted design values using techn...

INTRODUCTION Punching glass can cause severe and debilitating injuries. The literature is scant in regards to the injury patterns, optimal management, and preventative strategies. We have reviewed our experience of these injuries at a regional Australian hospital. METHODS A retrospective chart review of all patients who had punched glass and presented to Cairns Base Hospital between January 2...
