Prefabrication is a promising construction method that helps to improve overall productivity,
reduce the environmental impact, and improve on-site safety and security. To accelerate the …

Semi‐precast reinforced concrete (RC) slab, consisting of a precast plank with steel trusses,
and a cast in‐situ concrete topping, has attracted more and more attention owing to its low …

A comprehensive investigation of the flexural behaviour of concrete-infilled hollow flange
cold formed steel (CF-HFCFS) beams with lightweight normal and lightweight high strength …

During the construction of precast concrete (PC) structures, concrete composite slabs are
commonly used, employing PC planks with lattice girders as permanent formwork to …

In this study, qualitative tests were carried out to compare the behaviour of selected slabs
exposed to short-and long-term loading. Full-scale models of the half-slab and hollow-core …

The performance of semi-precast slabs with prestressed basalt fibre-reinforced polymer
(BFRP) bars under load is explored in this paper, using both experiments and computer …

Reinforcing bars are often embedded into cement mortar layers (bed joints and surface
bonded) of masonry structures to enhance their structural performance to various effects …

Composite slabs, consisting of a precast plank and a cast-in-situ concrete topping, are the
most commonly used horizontal structural components in prefabricated buildings. In order to …

The application of lightweight high strength concrete (LWHSC) is becoming popular due to
its superior mechanical properties and lighter weight nature. As a result, it offers advantages …

Concrete composite slab system with pre-cast bottom segment and cast-in-situ top segment
is gaining importance due to wide-ranging applications in buildings, bridges and industrial …
