Although providing sufficient shear strength is crucial in the design of hollow-core slabs
(HCS) to prevent shear failure, conventional shear equations for HCS could not always …

A detailed nonlinear finite element (FE) modelling approach is proposed to represent the
behavior of precast pre-stressed hollow-core (PPHC) slabs under vertical loading until shear …

Even if precast pre-stressed hollow-core (PPHC) slabs are usually designed as simply
supported elements, continuity with the supporting beam may exist when constructed …

This study emphasizes the performance of novel assembling technique using anchored
continuity bars as a connection detail between precast hollow core slab and beam, aiming to …

Precast prestressed hollow core slabs (PPHCSs) are widely used in the construction of
multistory cross-wall structures, but the floors are vulnerable to progressive collapse induced …

Serious concerns about the life safety risk of hollow-core floors during earthquakes were
raised following the collapse of hollow-core units during the 1994 Northridge earthquake …

There are many applications in buildings in which precast pre-stressed hollow-core (HC)
slabs are subjected to shear, torsion, or combined shear and torsion. Nonetheless, extruded …

Precast, prestressed hollow core slabs (HCS) are commonly used by the construction
industry for floor and roof systems worldwide. Generally, the web shear strength governs the …

Precast hollow core slabs are frequently used to cover large spans for industrial, commercial
and residential buildings. Their use has been proved during many years of application to be …

In New Zealand (NZ), due to a significant construction boom in the 1980s, many of the larger
buildings in the commercial building district of Wellington are of similar vintage and …
