Transient Injection of Flow: How Torn and Bent Slabs Induce Unusual Mantle Circulation Patterns Near a Flat Slab

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Torn and bent slabs are usually associated with flat‐slab subduction where the descending plate develops a horizontal geometry beneath the overlying continent.

Response of the mantle to flat slab evolution: Insights from local splitting beneath Peru [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The dynamics of flat subduction, particularly the interaction between a flat slab and the overriding plate, are poorly understood. Here we study the (seismically) anisotropic properties and deformational regime of the mantle directly above the Peruvian ...

Comparative Analysis of Mechanical Performance of Flat Slabs with Reverse and Conventional Column Caps

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Compared with the conventional column caps, the reverse column caps that are used for slab-column joint of basement roof can improve the clearance of the basement while ensuring structural safety, and they are hidden in the covering soil without ...

Complex anisotropy beneath the Peruvian flat slab from frequency-dependent, multiple-phase shear wave splitting analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Flat or shallow subduction is a relatively widespread global occurrence, but the dynamics remain poorly understood. In particular, the interaction between flat slabs and the surrounding mantle flow has yet to be studied in detail.

Comparison of the post-tensioned, solid, hollow block, and flat slabs in terms of economy considering different span lengths

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2023
From among the several types of slabs, there is uncertainty about the most cost-effective one for structures with short, medium, and long spans. A study comparing the cost of the solid, flat, hollow block (HB), and post-tensioned (PT) slabs for 4, 6, and

Influence of cratonic lithosphere on the formation and evolution of flat slabs : insights from 3-D time-dependent modeling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Several mechanisms have been suggested for the formation of flat slabs including buoyant features on the subducting plate, trenchward motion and thermal or cratonic structure of the overriding plate.

Flat slab deformation caused by interplate suction force [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We image the structure at the southern end of the Peruvian flat subduction zone, using receiver function and surface wave methods. The Nazca slab subducts to ~100 km depth and then remains flat for ~300 km distance before it resumes the dipping ...

Monte Carlo Studies of a Novel LiF Radiator for RICH Detectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
We show that a multifaceted LiF radiator produces more Cherenkov light and has better resolution per photon than a flat radiator slab when used in a ring imaging Cherenkov counter.

Development of Flat Slab – Column Interaction with Different Thickness

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Flat slab – column connection has received much attention in recent years due to its simplicity of construction where beam is not required to support the slab.
