Assessment of the effectiveness of steel fibre reinforcement for the punching resistance of flat slabs by experimental research and design approach [PDF]
The present paper deals with the experimental assessment of the effectiveness of steel fibre reinforcement in terms of punching resistance of centrically loaded flat slabs, and to the development of an analytical model capable of predicting the ...

Analytical Study of Punching Shear Capacity in Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs with Opening Strengthened with Steel Plates and Shear Stud [PDF]
Reinforced concrete flat slabs are widely employed in structural systems. The location of the slab-column connection is the most sensitive part of the flat slab due to the existence of a high flexural anchor and shear force.

Failure assessment of lightly reinforced floor slabs. I: Experimental investigation [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the ultimate behavior of lightly reinforced concrete floor slabs under extreme loading conditions. Particular emphasis is given to examining the failure conditions of idealized composite slabs which become lightly reinforced ...

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.

The global stability of tall reinforced concrete buildings made up of flat slabs is guaranteed, among other factors, by the existence of considerably rigid elements such as elevator cores and stairways.

A cubic polyhedron is a polyhedral surface whose edges are exactly all the edges of the cubic lattice. Every such polyhedron is a discrete minimal surface, and it appears that many (but not all) of them can be relaxed to smooth minimal surfaces (under an

Experimental investigation of strengthening slab-column connections with CFRP fan
This paper investigates experimentally the punching shear behavior of flat slabs-column connections strengthened with CFRP (Carbon fiber reinforced polymer) string having a fan shape as a new strengthening technique.
