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…

Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Beam with FRP

This study focuses on investigation of the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and the determination of flexural capacity of the beams. In addition, discussion on findings obtained from the literature for the RC beams with FRP was also addressed. Methods of strengthening RC beams with externally bonded with FRP…

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 Flat Slab Systems with and without Shear Walls

The recent times, Flat slab buildings are generally used for the construction because use of flat slab building provides many advantages above conventional RC Frame building in terms of economy, make use of space, easier formwork, architectural flexibility, and mostly shorter construction time. The Flat slab building in which slab is directly supported by columns,…

A Study on Bolted Connection of Steel Structure

The thesis presents on bolted connection of steel structure, which focuses on the analysis of beam-column connections complying the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification (AISC Specification). The material that used for beam and column member is ASTM Steel Grade A572-50 with yield strength Fy = 344.738 MPa and Fu = 448.159 MPa. For the…
