A series of finite-element analyses for slab–column edge connections reinforced with fiber- reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement and subjected to reversed-cyclic lateral load is …
When reinforced concrete (RC) slabs are supported directly on columns, a combination of shear forces and unbalanced bending moments is transferred between the slab and the …
Flat plates are widely used in reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to their functional and economic advantages. Their design is usually governed by the punching shear stress …
When reinforced concrete (RC) flat plate systems are used as gravity force resisting systems in regions of high seismic activity, they are required to accommodate the seismically induced …
