Experimental Investigation of the Maximum Punching Resistance of Slab-Column Connections

open access: yesSlovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
Flat slabs represent a structural system with a typical concentration of shear forces near the vicinity of its local supports. A possible failure from punching is a dangerous phenomenon due to the brittleness and possible progressive collapse of a whole ...

Effective Width of Floor Systems for Application in Seismic Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
Effective width coefficients for floor systems have been developed for use in the analysis of frames subjected to lateral seismic loads. The results cover a wide range of the governing nondimensional parameters, and are applicable to floor slabs with ...

Experimental and design‐oriented research on fiber reinforced concrete segmental tunnel linings: A systematic review

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Optimal structural design method for reinforced concrete column in buildings with high floor heights using a genetic algorithm

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, there is a growing trend toward taller, larger, and more structurally diverse buildings that require expansive interior spaces. Rapid technological advancements have surged the demand for data centers, while the expansion of e‐commerce has increased logistics volumes, driving the need for large‐scale warehouses.

Buildings in Barcelona protected from railway-induced vibrations with base isolation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This work describes two mid-height RC base isolated buildings recently erected in Barcelona. Both buildings are located near the main railway station in Barcelona (Barcelona-Sants), thus undergoing dynamic excitations due to intensive railway traffic ...

Strengthening of concrete slab-column connections using CFRP strips

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University - Engineering Sciences, 2012
AbstractThis paper presents experimental data and results on the effect of externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips on the punching shear of interior slab-column connections. A total of six square slabs with a concentric column were constructed with overall dimensions of 1220mm by 1220mm and 100mm thick slab and 150×150mm column.

Split‐disk testing of precast ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete tubes

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has great potential for structural applications involving precast cylindrical shapes, including pipes, silos and stay‐in‐place forms for concrete columns. This study examines the performance of UHPFRC rings under internal pressure simulated using the split‐disk loading method, along ...

Punching shear of unbonded post‐tensioned steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs: The fiber contribution

open access: yesStructural 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 ...
