Control of Subduction Zone Age and Size on Flat Slab Subduction
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Flat slab subduction is an enigmatic style of subduction where the slab attains a horizontal orientation for up to several hundred kilometers below the base of the overriding plate.

Damage and Failure of a Column-Supported RC Flat Slab Subjected to Impulsive Loading
Applied Sciences, 2023 RC flat slabs supported by an array of columns subjected to the action of impulsive pressure were investigated. The slabs were designed for static loads according to current standards. The dynamic responses of 4 × 4- and 8 × 8-column-supported slabs were

Natural Time Analysis of Seismicity within the Mexican Flat Slab before the M7.1 Earthquake on 19 September 2017. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2020 One of the most important subduction zones in the world is located in the Mexican Pacific Coast, where the Cocos plate inserts beneath the North American plate. One part of it is located in the Mexican Pacific Coast, where the Cocos plate inserts beneath

Flat slab strengthening techniques against punching-shear
Engineering Structures, 2019 Abstract Over the years, the flat slab system has become a popular form of construction in many countries, particularly for multi-storey buildings such as offices or carparks. Nowadays, a considerable number of flat slab buildings requires strengthening against punching. Reasons are several, like design or construction errors, poor quality materials,

The role of flat slab subduction, ridge subduction, and tectonic inheritance in Andean deformation
Geology, 2022 Convergent plate boundaries show sharp variations in orogenic width and extent of intraplate deformation. Analysis of late Cenozoic contractile deformation along the Andean mountain front and adjacent foreland highlights the contrasting degrees of ...

Numerical models of Farallon plate subduction: Creating and removing a flat slab
Geosphere, 2022 Flat-slab subduction has affected parts of North America, South America, and Asia over the past 250 m.y. In these areas, reconstructions show that the subducting plate became subhorizontal below the continent for ~5 to >30 m.y., followed by foundering of

Deformation capacity evaluation for flat slab seismic design
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2022 In flat-slab frames, which are typically designed as secondary seismic structures, the shear failure of the slab around the column (punching failure) is typically the governing failure mode which limits the deformation capacity and can potentially lead ...

Analysis of Flat Slab Structures in Comparison with Conventional Slab Structures
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2021 The main aim of this analysis is to study the seismic behaviour of different types of slab structures i.e. Flat slab structure, conventional slab structure, flat slab structure with drop under different earthquake zones.

Financial comparative study between post-tensioned and reinforced concrete flat slab
International Journal of Advanced Engineering, Sciences and Applications, 2022 As for today, post-tensioned slabs gained much popularity and started to be widely used among construction companies all around the world. As we refer to the structural members, we acknowledge that the price of the slab is much higher in comparison to ...

Seismic Analysis of Flat Slab Buildings on Hilly Ground
Proceedings of the 12th Structural Engineering Convention, SEC 2022: Themes 1-2, 2022 In India, hilly region especially northern part is more seismically active region. Flat Slab systems are widely popular in multi-storey buildings. Flat slab building has more advantages than a regular building like fast construction, free design space ...
