Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Grouted sleeve connectors (GSCs) are widely used in precast/prefabricated concrete structures. To ensure force transfer, connectors are often overdesigned in length. This practice has an unintended consequence of reducing the plastic deformation capacity of the connection region and hence the displacement ductility of the precast structure as ...

Prediction of punching shear capacity of RC flat slabs using artificial neural network
, 2017 Punching shear of flat slabs is a local, brittle failure that may occur before the more favourable ductile flexural failure. This study develops an artificial neural network (ANN) modelling for the prediction of punching shear strength of flat slabs ...

Experimental Investigation of Punching Shear on FRP Strengthened Slab
, 2018 Punching in slabs is generally seen by the application of concentrated loads or to the presence of columns. One of the major phenomenon related to flat slabs is its punching shear capacity at slab column connection.

Anchorage performance of different punching shear reinforcement elements in cracked concrete
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Extensive research has been conducted on the bond and anchorage behavior of reinforcement elements in concrete. While many experimental studies have focused on uncracked concrete, the anchorage performance in the presence of cracks remains insufficiently understood.

Size effect on punching shear strength: differences and analogies with shear in one-way slabs
Size effect has been theoretically and experimentally acknowledged as a phenomenon influencing the shear and punching shear strength of concrete structures, with reducing unitary shear strength for increasing member sizes.

International Journal of Concrete Structures and MaterialsFlat plate flooring systems are susceptible to punching shear failures at slab-column joints, which is pointed out as one of critical obstacles in its application to high-rise buildings in strong wind or seismic regions.

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Partially prestressed concrete internal square panel [PDF]
, 1986 This work is concerned with the general behaviour of an internal panel in a column supported multi-bay floor structure, under the influence of various prestressing tendon arrangements.
