The work is devoted to the analysis of one possible limit states, for which scenario collapse floor over a remote column, as result general rancake-type occurs. An approximate method assessing progressive reinforced concrete slab multi-story building, will receive an impact from falling fragments failed structures, proposed. technique's underpinning dynamic simplified module motion, form assume...

Both experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) was used to study the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) interior slab-column connection made with pyramid-shaped drop panel subjected vertical horizontal loads. The dimensions models at “¼ ” linear scale for laboratory testing FE Analysis are derived from rules column drops, given a prototype “9.60m” grid slab thickness “320mm”. Lab...

From among the several types of slabs, there is uncertainty about most cost-effective one for structures with short, medium, and long spans. A study comparing cost solid, flat, hollow block (HB), post-tensioned (PT) slabs 4, 6, 8m spans was conducted using SAFE software. For each span length, total quantities concrete steel bars were found compared 4 slabs. Then, bars, concrete, blocks, tendons...

A methodology has been developed for characterising the mechanical behaviour of concrete, based on the damaged plasticity model, enriched with a user subroutine (V)USDFLD in order to capture better the ductility of the material under moderate confining pressures. The model has been applied in the context of the international benchmark IRIS_2012, organised by the OECD/NEA/CSNI Nuclear Energy Age...

The main challenge in designing Light-Weight Concrete (LWC) is to adapt most of the design, production, and execution rules from normal-weight concrete. Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites provide strength stiffness composite system. This study investigated an LWC flat slab with CFRP when subjected human-induced vibration. was determined by finding natural frequency comparing it a...

Reinforced concrete-framed buildings are commonly preferred to other types of in Turkey. In these buildings, a two-way slab with beams, flat, waffle, and ribbed widely used. building design, determining the best type that will perform well under gravity lateral loads, least cost, is required. However, proper selection has generally been overlooked by designers due emphasis on structural members...
