Implications upon using exterior post-tensioning tendons to retrofit a low strength concrete waffle slab [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 A common problem when casting reinforced concrete structures is to have a lower concrete compressive strength as opposed to what has been assumed in design. The deflections that may occur under the serviceability conditions can exceed the maximum allowed.

Comparative Study of Conventional Slab, Flat Slab and Waffle Slab by using Finite Element Method
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2022 Abstract— The slab is the main component of the structure. There are different types of slab used in different structure and gives better appearance to the structure. In this project, three type of slab to be used. The comparative study of Conventional slab, flat slab, and waffle slab under seismic condition to be analyzed.

Seismic performance of waffled-slab floor buildings [PDF]
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings, 2009 The codes used in seismic design of waffled-slab floors buildings (WSFB), such as the Spanish NCSE-02 earthquake-resistant design code, assign them restricted ductility, utilise linear structural analysis based on modal analysis, but also consider the structural ductility concept.

Experimental Study of Punching Shear on Reinforced Concrete Waffle Slabs Strengthened by CFRP Sheets
Tikrit Journal of Engineering SciencesFor the last five decades, researchers have been studying the punching shear of two-way reinforced slabs at column supports in structural testing laboratories. Limited tests are available on retrofitted waffle slab punching behavior. These are necessary

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Enhancing ultrasound transmission through an aberration layer exhibiting mismatched impedance with the surrounding medium possesses great implications in imaging and treatment. In this study, we show that a space‐coiling acoustic metamaterial with judiciously tailored structural profile can help improve impedance matching.
