Comparative Analysis of RCC Flat Slab with Post-Tensioned Flat Slab [PDF]
A floor system plays an important role in overall cost and service of the building. Flat plate/slabs are economical since they have no beams and hence can reduce the floor height by 10-15%. In this paper analysis of RC flat slab with drop and post-tensioned flat slab with drop is carried out.

Experimental and numerical investigation of post-tensioned concrete flat slabs in fire [PDF]
Purpose This paper aims to understand the structural fire performance of two-way post-tensioned flat slabs, particularly their deformations and load-carrying mechanisms in fire, and to explore the behaviour of post-tensioned high-strength self ...

Influence of cratonic lithosphere on the formation and evolution of flat slabs : insights from 3-D time-dependent modeling. [PDF]
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 bands with higher Chern number in pyrochlore slabs [PDF]
A large number of recent works point to the emergence of intriguing analogs of fractional quantum Hall states in lattice models due to effective interactions in nearly flat bands with Chern number C=1.

Friction anisotropy at Ni(100)/(100) interfaces: Molecular dynamics studies [PDF]
The friction of surfaces moving relative to each other must derive from the atomic interaction at interfaces. However, recent experiments bring into question the fundamental understanding of this phenomenon.

We show some new properties of the acoustic propagation in two-dimensional sonic crystals, formed by parallel rigid cylinders placed in air. The transmission through slabs of sonic crystals and the associated band structures are considered.
