Effect of Reinforced Opening on Punching Shear of Flat Slab

Opening is inevitable in structural slab. Consequently, the punching shear capacity remarkably reduces, and becomes more crucial for Flat Slab. Subtracting the control perimeter, adding shear reinforcement, increasing slab thickness are the treatment method written in building design code on matter relating the opening within slab. The presenting thesis addresses the variation in punching shear…

Numerical Investigation of Crack Behavior of RC Members Subjected to Static Loading

The crack formation and propagation in RC members is complex. It involves various mechanisms and parameters related to the interaction between concrete and reinforcement, the geometry of structure member, type of loading, and support conditions. Typically, experiment testing was used widely by investigating the behavior of these individual element and the effect of concrete strength.…

Study of Cracks in PT Slab

Comparisons in the use of reinforced concrete and Post tension concrete have shown that theoretical and practical studies in real-world construction have different characteristics and actually have different advantages and disadvantages. Related to cracks in fiber flooring and reinforced concrete using ACI 318 and Euro code 2 are also different. For the topic research, we…

A Study of Reinforced Concrete Element under the Action Long-term Loading

The present study addresses the calculation of the long-deflection of reinforced concrete beams under concentrated load in mid span using different standard such as Russian code and ACI standard, compared with actual beam test result and the result of calculation in computer program ANSYS. By divided different calculate deflection according to Mechanical Method, Gilbert’s Method…
