Structural designers say there is cause for concern but no reason to panic over research that indicates potential for premature failure of flat-plate concrete frames reinforced at slab-column ...

The inventors and original supplier of a popular shear-stud reinforcement for two-way flat slabs in concrete frames are up in arms over charges, based on recent research, that the American Concrete ...

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

Most slabs-on-ground are unreinforced or nominally reinforced for crack-width control. When positioned in the upper or top portion of the slab thickness, steel reinforcement limits the widths of ...
