This paper focuses on the dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs. Therefore, the theoretical modal analysis was performed using two different types of boundary conditions. Modal analysis method is the most important dynamic analyses. The analysis would be modal case when there is no external force on the structure. By using this method in this paper, the effects of freely and simply...

This paper proposes a curved link-slab (CLS) structure, simplified into hingeless arch model, to address the current cracking phenomenon of CLS concrete. The stress formula under various loads is derived based on classical mechanic’s method. Based an actual bridge example, mechanical properties are analyzed different and load combinations. results show that: (1) significantly lower than that fl...
