Implications upon using exterior post-tensioning tendons to retrofit a low strength concrete waffle slab [PDF]
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.

Innovation on RC Waffle and Ribbed Slab Analysis Models
Waffle and ribbed reinforced concrete slabs are widely used in building constructions in view of the flexibility design and structural efficiency. The wide range of reinforced concrete and composite waffle and ribbed slabs has been theoretically ...

In the world of construction, aesthetic has become an important factor that must be considered. The aesthetic elements consist of wholeness, prominence and balance. However, aesthetic values can be influenced by several factors, namely economic, social, cultural, technological, ergonomic and psychological factors and this cause that in commercial ...

ELASTIC AND ULTIMATE BEHAVIOUR OF WAFFLE SLAB STRUCTURES.
In this dissertation the author investigates the behaviour of reinforced and prestressed concrete waffle slabs from initial to collapse load. The theoretical treatment covering the whole range of load, is divided into three parts: elastic analysis, ultimate analysis, and progressive failure analysis.

Seismic performance of waffled-slab floor buildings [PDF]
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.
