Slab pull, slab weakening, and their relation to deep intra-slab seismicity [PDF]
Subduction zone seismicity is highly variable. Great earthquakes occur at few subduction zones around the world, with significant variation in size and frequency of deep events. Interactions between overriding and subducting plates and slab pull strength

Reliability analysis of reinforced concrete slabs according to NBR 6118 considering the lateral confinement [PDF]
The effect of lateral confinement in reinforced concrete slabs is widely recognized for its ability to increase the supported ultimate load. In this context, this study proposes a reliability analysis of slabs designed according to Brazilian standards ...

Measured pressures on the basis of bottom slab with gaps in the flow direction in a channel
A study was conducted to determine whether the back edges of the longitudinal gaps of a floor tile fixed to the bottom of a canal with a supercritical flow convert kinetic energy into pressure energy using Froude numbers in the range of 2.84 to 10.12 ...

Performance of 3D-Printed Beams and Slabs Using Self-Sensing Cementitious Composites and DIC Method
This paper aims to explore the structural performance of 3D-printed and casted cement-based steel-reinforced concrete beams and one-way slabs incorporating short carbon fibre and activated carbon powder, which have been shown to enhance concrete’s ...

Band gap engineering in simultaneous phononic and photonic crystal slabs [PDF]
We discuss the simultaneous existence of phononic and photonic band gaps in two types of phononic crystals slabs, namely periodic arrays of nanoholes in a Si membrane and of Si nanodots on a SiO2 membrane. In the former geometry, we investigate in detail

Slab underthrusting is the primary control on flat-slab size [PDF]
Flat 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.
