Composite steel‐concrete slabs represent a successful integration of two distinct materials, combining the tensile strength and ductility of steel with the compressive capacity and durability of ...

A transfer slab is simply a thick reinforced concrete floor slab where a column sits on top of a slab but does not have a column immediately below. In other words, it bridges between supporting ...

This project quantified the improvement in structural behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls retrofitted with a new method that allows the walls to rock over the foundation and self-center after ...

Concrete slabs form the backbone of countless industrial and material-handling facilities. Whether supporting heavy machinery, mezzanines, pallet racks, or conveyors, a slab must be able to bear ...
