A Review on Progressive Collapse of Reinforced Concrete Flat Slab Structures [PDF]
The reinforced concrete flat slab structures are highly susceptible to punching shear failure. This occurs due to the transferring of shear force and due to the bending moment between the slab and the column.

The role of flat slab subduction, ridge subduction, and tectonic inheritance in Andean deformation
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
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
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 ...

Structural Design Optimization of Flat Slab Hospital Buildings Using Genetic Algorithms
The construction costs of hospital buildings are relatively high due to the need to fulfill their complex functions and avoid mishaps. In this context, this study aims to minimize the total construction costs of hospitals while still satisfying the ...

Extensive studies have focussed on the issue of the failure of punching shear in flat slabs and ways to strengthen it internally, externally and the importance of this structure (flat slab), and the danger of punching shear failure in the areas of ...

Volume staging for arteriovenous malformation SRS treatment using VMAT
Abstract Volume staging involves dividing the target volume into smaller parts and treating each part separately. In this study, the feasibility of volume‐staged stereotactic radiosurgery (VS‐SRS) on a linear accelerator using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and a frameless patient positioning system is investigated.

Financial comparative study between post-tensioned and reinforced concrete flat slab
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 ...

Abstract Purpose The aim of this work was to evaluate the SunCHECK PerFRACTION, the software for in vivo monitoring using EPID images. Materials/Methods First, the PerFRACTION ability to detect errors was investigated simulating two situations: (1) variation of LINAC output and (2) variation of the phantom thickness.

Optimum Design of Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs [PDF]
This paper deals with the problem of optimum design of reinforced concrete flat slabs by genetic algorithm. Four case studies are discussed; flat slabs with and without edge beams, and, flat-plate with and without edge beams. The cost function represents
