As PT floor slabs become thinner, a doubt about its vibration behavior and comfort of occupants arises. This paper investigates several approaches for determining the post-tensioned human induced vibrations which can give high accuracy be considered as simple tools guide designers. It also studies with different span length, thicknesses relates response to natural frequency floor. The results s...

This paper presents a newly developed method for determining the influence of tensile membrane action on ultimate loading capacity two-way RC concrete slab. In this method, more realistic and two failure criteria slab panel are established. The has been validated against test results good agreement is achieved. Compared to region obtained from FEM (Vulcan), assumptions about focus ellipse equat...

To study the effects of infill wall on progressive collapse resistance reinforced concrete (RC) frames with slabs, a macro finite element (FE) model was built using general purpose software OpenSees. The FE validated by existing test results. Then, subsequently used to predict potential eight-story RC frame including slabs and walls. numerical studies demonstrated that inclusion walls could inc...
