Prestressing Optimization of Concrete Slabs
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1991An algorithm to minimize prestressing steel in concrete slabs is presented; it is based on elastic theory and uses the finite element method. The influence‐line method and the equivalent‐load approach are reviewed and the latter is employed to compute the effects of prestressing.

Bionic Structures for Innovative Concrete Slabs
IABSE Reports, 2015<p>The adaption of natural structures in technical systems leads to highly efficient and sustainable constructions. Especially for concrete slabs, bionic structures can be applied into the inner and to the exterior structure, which leads to improved lightweight bearing systems with a natural flow of forces.

The vibration of concrete slabs
Magazine of Concrete Research, 1949Summary This paper describes an experimental vibrating machine used for studying the variables concerned in the compaction of concrete road and runway slabs. In this work measurements are made of the degree of compaction achieved and also of the movements produced in the concrete.

Radon Mitigation by Depressurization of Concrete Walls and Slabs
Health Physics, 1999A special laboratory, the Radioisotope Unit Radon Analysis Laboratory, has been built for the study of radon mitigation in high-rise buildings. Reduction of radon exhalation rate from concrete walls as a result of depressurizing the interior of the wall was studied by embedding tunnels in a wall and pumping away the radon in the wall.

Analysis of Concrete Slabs on Ground
Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division, 1959New theory for calculating stresses and deflections in concrete slabs on ground for buildings and homes, or concrete pavements for highways and airports; theory accounts for weight, superimposed loads, warping due to temperature and moisture gradients, and for condition that slab may be only partially supported by ground.

Punching shear in concrete slabs
International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 1999Punching shear in concrete slabs is a serious problem in certain structural systems, such as flat slabs. Current analysis is based either on empirical and simplified analytical techniques or on theoretical models, mainly based on the theory of plasticity.

The minimum reinforcement of concrete slabs
International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 1966Abstract Using rigid-plastic methods, a sufficient condition is derived for steel in a certain arrangement, in a given concrete slab without membrane forces, to be the least possible volume of reinforcement necessary to carry given loads normal to the slab plane, when energy dissipation in the concrete at failure can be neglected.

Reinforced Concrete Slab Design Manual
The basis for this project is to show the steps necessary for an in depth design of the three most common types of slabs being used in modern construction today. These are; slab on ground, one-way slab with band beam and two-way flat slab with drop panels.This project report takes on the combination of slab design models to combine them and create a ...openaire +2 more sources
