Reshoring meant to prevent concrete slab deflection under its own weight, similar to that shown in this photo of another project above, became a point of controversy among the Philadelphia hotel ...

Increasing stiffness, which in return decrease deflection, is depend on Modulus of rupture combine, reinforcement ratio, and applied load magnitude affect.

This paper proposed one new method to determine the residual ultimate loads of the fire-damaged beam-slab specimens. Based on the conventional yield line method, the stiffness and deflection of the ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional models of void beneath old cement slab corner with joint are set up using finite element ANSYS software. Through simulating Falling Weight Deflectometer testing, the ...

Open the Jupyter notebook file, SlabDeflCheck.ipynb Input your desired values using the intuitive text widgets provided. Run the notebook to generate the design check results. Inspect the results to ...

Basic assumptions are proposed for the continuity model of a tubular hollow slab combined with continuity analysis and calculation of a finite-element model; the continuity Equation of a tubular ...

Slab orphaning is a newly discovered phenomenological behavior, where the slab tip breaks off at the top of the lower mantle (~660 km depth) and is abandoned by its parent slab. Upon orphaning, ...

Abstract: Various metasurfaces are proposed to abnormally modulate the elastic waves, but most of the elastic metasurfaces are wave-dispersive. In this paper, we theoretically design an achromatic ...
