Development of Improved Loop Joint Applied for Precast PC Deck Slab

Development of Self-stressing System for Bridge Application with Emphasis on Precast Panel Deck System

Effects of Half-Precast Concrete Slab System on Construction Productivity

A half-precast concrete slab system (HPCSS) is reported to exhibit excellent structural performance when compared with traditional slab systems. However, there is a lack of extant research examining the construction issues of an HPCSS. Thus, in this study, we analyze the construction process and productivity of applying an HPCSS by using a simulation method with the data collected from an actua...

Structural Analysis of a Three Span Continuous PC Voided Slab Deck by Three Dimensional Finite Element Method

The structural system of prestressed concrete (PC) voided slab deck is intermediate between plate and girder. Therefore, the conventional design method is based on the assumption that the system is similar to the plate system or to the grid system. In this paper, the structural behavior of a continuous PC voided slab deck with three spans was analyzed by using the three dimensional solid finite...

A study on slab-wooden dust-slab phantom for the development of thorax phantom

Introduction: The determination of accurate dose distribution is an issue of fundamental importance in radiotherapy, especially with regard to the fact that the human body is a heterogeneous medium. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the density and isodose depth profiles of 6 MV beam in a SP34 slab-wooden dust (pine)-SP34 slab (SWS) heterogeneous phantom.  Materials and Methods: Th...

New Model of Cement Product – Precast Slab Track for Thsr (taiwan High Speed Rail)

The development of “slab track” was started by Japan in 1955 and the “Committee of slab track research” was established in 1971 for exclusive development of slab track. This makes Japan the country that has invested the most effort into slab tracks. On 5 January 2007, the THSR transferred from Japanese Shinkansen started its commercial operation. The stability and comfort of train operation hav...
