The big surge in use of systems for flat slabs gave up the search for freedom in the definition and organization of architectural interior spaces in buildings. The design and construction of buildings on flat slabs, which ...

This work presents a boundary element formulation for the analysis of building floor slabs, without beams, in which columns are coupled with the plate. An alternative formulation of boundary element method is presented, ...

The present work aims to investigate the web post buckling resistance of composite cellular beams. For this task, geometrical and physical non-linear analyses are developed in the ABAQUS® software. The computational model ...

This present work covers possible manners of evaluating steel concrete frames designed for multiple flooring buildings as far as instability and necessity of second order efforts are concerned. Starting from single floor ...

The use of prestressed concrete in buildings is gaining more and more space in Brazil. Problems that often cannot be solved with conventional reinforced concrete are easily overcome using this structural solution. In ...

This work presents a boundary element formulation for the analysis of building floor slabs, without beams, in which columns are coupled with the plate. An alternative formulation of boundary element method is presented, ...

Reinforced concrete flat slabs are structural systems in which slabs are directly supported by columns, without the use of beams. A structural phenomenon that deserves attention in these systems is the punching shear, ...

This work aims to compare the strain and deformations presented in a prestressed flat slab, modeled by the Finite Elements Method and calculated by the Equivalent Frames Method. For this, it was performed the execution ...

In this work the strength and the stiffness (EI) of wood-concrete composite beams with cross section T for two types of connection (bonded with epoxy and fixed by pre-drilling without adhesive) made by steel dowels, with ...
