Many design codes, such as ACI 318− 19, ACI 352.1 R-11 and ASCE 41− 17, offer
deterministic inter-storey drift limit functions of the gravity shear ratios for flat slab floor …

Slab-column connections are the most critical components in flat plate systems under
seismic actions due to their brittle failure mode. Finite element analysis (FEA) can be …

The behavior of flat slab–column connections under seismic-type loading is complex and
not exhaustively studied. Among the many variables involved, this paper focuses on the …

This paper presents an investigation of the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures in which shear walls are the main lateral load-resisting elements and the …

The fabrication of precast slab can be made from wide range of material either neat
concrete, foamed concrete or even composite. Until recently, a new interest has been …

Abstract The Ge Nose C19 medical device gasket is a product from a manufacturing
company in Yogya. Gaskets must be of good quality to ensure vacuum or prevent air …

Beams with width greater than their depth and depth equal to the depth of the slab
(concealed wide beams) are widespread in Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in Albania …

Replicating boundary conditions of slab–column connections under seismic loading in a
realistic manner is difficult, and different test setups have been used throughout the years …

In reinforced concrete (RC) flat plate systems, slab-column connections are critical
components, susceptible to brittle punching shear failure under seismic actions. The current …

The design of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is always considered a challenge to satisfy
all code life-safety requirements, to achieve sustainable performance and to economize the …
