Since the precast slabs with lattice joists are widely used in Brazil, this work evaluate different ways to enable the consideration of continuous lattice slabs and rate the impact of this consideration on aspects such as ...

The analysis of magmatic distribution, basin formation, tectonic evolution and structural styles of different segments of the Andes shows that most of the Andes have experienced a stage of flat subduction. Evidence is ...

This work is aimed at studying slab systems for steel structures by assessing massive conventional slab, framed slab, pre-cast slabs, compsite slab systems and other systems of steel and concrete. Characteristics as well ...

This paper analyzes the punching strength of concrete flat slabs with shear reinforcement that does not embrace flexural reinforcement. This paper also reports the results of tests of slabs without shear reinforcement. ...

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 ...

In this project a first order structural analysis was performed for the behavior of Bubbledeck slabs and the application of this system, compared with waffle slabs systems. The points discussed were: the internal distribution ...

The waffle slabs are very efficient structures and are constantly evolving being widely used all over the world. The ribbed slab with openings in the ribs is the most recent version of these structures as it further ...

This work contains an analysis of the maximum bending moments in garage slabs subjected to the concentrated and distributed loads from the ABNT NBR 6120 (2019), with the use of the Rüsch tables and the SAP2000 software. ...

We present a three-dimensional (3-D) interpretation of 117 long period (20–4096 s) magnetotelluric (MT) sites between 31°S and 35°S in western Argentina. They cover the most horizontal part of the Pampean shallow angle ...
