Unbonded post-tensioned (UPT) flat plate concrete slabs are popular for modern continuous multiple bay floor assemblies due to economic and sustainability benefits (reductions in slab thickness and building selfweight) and structural advantages (decreased deflections over larger spans). Only limited research has been conducted on the performance of UPT flat plate slabs under fire conditions, ye...

Abstract In order to study the influence of arrangement thermal insulation floor on and mechanical properties hollow slab, ABAQUS is used establish model analysis behavior slab. By investigating distribution temperature, heat flux, damage deformation floor, mid-span deflection other characteristics section, it concluded that although transmission can be effectively obstructed by will transferre...

Precast floors are gaining more and popularity in modern construction, mainly due to their fast realization. However, the provisions of standards regarding floor design often ambiguous sometimes questionable. The article discusses selected issues HC slabs design, which pose problems practice, with references relevant scientific research this field. Particular attention was paid principles distr...
