Automated Lower Bound Analysis of Concrete Slabs
The problems caused by using different methods for the design of concrete slabs, and their subsequent reanalysis for assessment, were highlighted in an earlier paper [1]. If the original calculations have been lost it is common for structures to be condemned because the checker does not know the original designer’s logic. In many cases the design was carried out by hand calculation, often using...
متن کاملThe yield - line method for concrete slabs : automated at last
Synopsis The yield-line method of analysis provides a powerful means of identifying the ultimate load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete slabs. Benefits of the yield-line method are that it will often identify additional reserves of strength when applied to the analysis of existing slabs, and to highly economic slabs when used in design. Traditionally a hand-based method, the yield-line m...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Punching Shear Failure of Reinforced Concrete Slabs
Nearly no load bearing behaviour of reinforced concrete members allows such varied interpretations and complex discussions as the shear behaviour. Especially the three-dimensional problem of the punching shear failure of reinforced concrete members is internationally discussed. Nevertheless up to now, there is no unified design approach or even an overall accepted design model. Especially for l...
متن کاملExperimental Modal Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Square Slabs
The aim of this paper is to perform experimental modal analysis (EMA) of reinforced concrete (RC) square slabs. EMA is the process of determining the modal parameters (Natural Frequencies, damping factors, modal vectors) of a structure from a set of frequency response functions FRFs (curve fitting). Although, experimental modal analysis (or modal testing) has grown steadily in popularity since ...
متن کاملBehaviour of fibre reinforced concrete slabs
This paper presents a comparison of the properties of concrete slabs when two types of fibres are added. One specimen had no fibres and acted as a control specimen. The remaining four specimens had steel and polypropylene fibres added in the volumetric ratio of 0.5% and 1.0%. The dimensions of the slab specimens were 820×820×80 mm and were supported by four rollers at their edges. A displacemen...
