Stiffness, Vibration, and Strength of Flat Slab and Flat Plate Lightweight Concrete Slabs
Journal of EngineeringFlat slabs made of two-way reinforced concrete are a common, effective, and affordable structural method. Thin layer slabs and lightweight are of great importance in modern building construction without the need to increase the cross-section of columns,

Slab underthrusting is the primary control on flat-slab size. [PDF]
Sci AdvFlat subduction, an intermittent phenomenon along active margins, arises from well-known causes, yet the mechanisms driving its expansion remain poorly understood. The prevailing view suggests that trenchward continental motion drives slab overthrusting, causing the flat slab to expand oceanward.

Behavior of composite pre-flat slabs in resisting punching shear forces
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2020 Due to large use of the composite pre-flat slabs “two layers slabs” especially manifested in pre-cast system slabs such as frequently used in bridge dicks, large thickness slabs casted on two layers or change usage of existing structure.

Optimum Design of Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2015 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

Punching Shear Strength of Voided Slab: Literature Review and Evaluation of Design Codes
Wasit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2022 Despite of the economic advantages provided by the voided slabs, their design against punching shear failure, as suggested by the current building codes, are based on the equations derived from tests on flat slabs.

Influence of the Distribution and Level of Post-Tensioning Force on the Punching Shear of Flat Slabs
Designs, 2022 Punching shear is the most common failure mechanism of slabs that are supported directly on columns. The slab–column connection is always vulnerable to critical punching shear; thus, it is necessary to investigate the effect of various parameters on the ...
