Punching shear of RC slabs exposed to fire: assessment of load-bearing capacity based on European and American provisions. Part 1 – General code requirements [PDF]
Slab-column connection is one of the most critical points in reinforced concrete structures. Punching shear capacity of this connection must be properly determined in both the persistent design situation and the accidental design situation of fire ...

Numerical damage investigation for RC slab-column connections
This article presents a numerical Concrete Damage- Plastic (CDP) model for investigating the complex behavior of the RC slab-column connection under monotonic loading. The proposed numerical model is verified versus both the experimental data from the literature and various international design codes of practices, as well.

Cyclic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Slab-Column Connection Using Numerical Simulation
Nonlinear finite element (FE) simulation was employed to look into the behavior of flat slab-column connections exposed to lateral cyclic loading. The study focused on the effect of drop panel and concrete grade by taking into consideration the element ...

Ferritic stainless steels in structural applications [PDF]
Ferritic stainless steels are low cost, price-stable, corrosion-resistant materials. Although widely used in the automotive and domestic appliance sectors, structural applications are scarce owing to a dearth of performance data and design guidance.

Parametric design method of building structured cabling system oriented to data mining
This paper puts forward the method of secondary development and design software through the research of building structured cabling system (SCS), and uses data mining technology to carry out parametric design of building SCS. Then, the feasibility of the design is tested by comparing the data of the traditional design and the parametric design ...

Concealment by uniform motion [PDF]
The perceived lateral position of a transmitted beam, upon propagating through a slab made of homogeneous, isotropic, dielectric material at an oblique angle, can be controlled through varying the velocity of the slab.
