Abstract:
This research aims to compare Timber concrete slabs (TCC) with solid slabs (RC) to show that TCC may be used to minimize building weight and construction costs. Moreover, the purpose of this project is to use CypeCAD software to design a one-way TCC slab and a two-way solid slab, analyze the data supplied in the software, and compare the findings according to the Eurocode standard. The results illustrate that although the timber concrete composite slab is a new constructive solution and is little used in many constructions, it is less expensive compared to the conventional solution adopted in

Abstract:
Abstract Construction with flat slabs is quite dangerous when there is strong earthquake shaking. Two different forms of flat slab buildings—flat slab with shear wall at core and flat slab with x-bracing—are considered in the study. These flat slab constructions’ structural rigidity is increased by this lateral force-resisting mechanism. It has been found that adding a shear wall considerably boosts the flat slab structure’s ability to withstand lateral forces.

Abstract:
Cost is an important factor in choosing the type of floor or slab used in any construction. When a large space within a building needs to be covered without hindrance and supports, waffle or ribbed slabs are used. For all slab systems, the cost constitutes a significant portion of the overall cost of the structure. Therefore, this research aims to select a preferable slab system with the least construction cost for a shopping mall. Computer-aided design software such as Prota 2018 and Orion 2018 was used for analysis and design, and RCC spreadsheets were used to manually check the slabs. The r

The truss-reinforced half-concrete slab has been widely used in prefabricated construction all over the world. It has become the most widely used prefabricated component form in China.

To reduce resource consumption and the carbon footprint of the construction industry, new construction principles that stipulate the minimisation of materials are urgently needed. Floor slabs show high potential for saving materials and CO2 emissions, as they account for around 50% of the total volume of concrete used worldwide. A promising approach is the use of corrosion-resistant carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement, which requires only a small concrete cover to meet bond requirements.

Over the past decades, there has been a tremendous improvement in the concrete placement technology in Uganda. The methods have moved from being manual to the use of concrete pumps. A concrete pump is capable of pumping high volumes of concrete per minute. This implies that for small volume slabs before the setting of concrete, the whole weight of the fresh concrete of the upper slab, formwork, and props is transferred to the lower supporting slab. During construction, slabs are stacked with materials like bricks, blocks, sand, and aggregates. Construction loads such as block loads and loads d

In 1968 a relatively small gas exposition on the 18th floor of the Ronan Point tower building resulted in the partial collapse of the structure. This event highlighted that progress collapse may occur to structures under an accidental loading event. Other events, including the bombing of the Murrah federal building in 1993 in Oklahoma, have resulted in the common design requirement that a structure be capable of surviving the removal of a load bearing element.

Flat plate systems are constructed with slabs directly supported on columns. Since there are no beams in the system, the behavior of connections between the slabs and columns play a crucial role.

The first part of this study aims to evaluate the safety level of different design expressions in the codes.

The conic yield criteria for reinforced concrete slabs in bending are often used when evaluating the load‐carrying capacity of slab bridges. In the last decades, the yield criteria combined with numerical limit analysis have shown to be efficient methods to determine the load carrying capacity of slabs. However, the yield criteria overestimate the torsion capacity of slabs with high reinforcement ratios and it cannot handle slabs with construction joints. In this paper, numerical limit analysis with the conic yield criteria are compared with yield criteria based on an optimized layer model. Th

Abstract:
Diverse types of ballastless track have been developed in turnout zones, of which the prefabricated slab track in turnout zones is characterized with simple and fast construction technology and thus can preferably achieve the structure requirements. Slab tracks can be put into use after the track components are installed completely. A high demand is raised to ensure the accuracy of construction because of the complicated structure and force bearing status. This paper mainly shows the structure features, construction technology process and construction methods. Meanwhile, the construction contr

Abstract:
Corrosion is a common condition encountered by steel reinforcing bars which has a considerable negative impact on the structural integrity of concrete structures. Nowadays, applying anti-corrosive composite materials such as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars as reinforcing bars instead of steel bars is a major area of interest among researchers. The current study presents an investigation on the influence of surface treatment of the basalt (B) FRP reinforcing bars on the shear strength ofone-way high-strength concrete slabs. Two types of BFRP bars were tested, one with a sand-coated surface

Abstract:
The research discussed in this progress report has been proposed to study the interface shear transfer in applications for partial-depth concrete repairs and for topping applications on precast elements. This research comprises two phases of laboratory testing. Phase 1 was developed to study the (local) interface bond strength of slab specimens through direct shear tests and direct tensile pull-off tests. Phase 2 comprises flexural tests on beam specimens to assess interface shear strength under combined bending and shear.

Abstract:
Bridge load-rating analysis is typically used to assess the safe load-carrying capacity of bridges. However, in many cases, this analytical approach was proven to be too conservative, which leads to unnecessary bridge postings and road restrictions. In such cases, field testing is sought as a more reliable method for assessing the structural condition of the investigated bridge. This study focused on investigating the efficacy and practicality of performing load rating on reinforced concrete slab bridges in Illinois using two field testing methods—namely, diagnostic and proof load testing.

Abstract:
Autonomous vehicles (AV) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) offer multiple safety benefits for drivers and road agencies. However, maintaining the lateral position of an AV or a vehicle with ADAS within a lane is a challenge, especially in adverse weather conditions when lane markings are occluded. For significant penetration of AV without compromising safety, vehicle-to-infrastructure sensing capabilities are necessary, especially during severe weather conditions. This research proposes a method to create a continuous electromagnetic (EM) signature on the roadway, using materials c

Earthquake disasters in the United States account for $6.1 billion of economic losses each year, much of which is directly linked to infrastructure damage. These natural disasters are unpredictable and represent one of the most difficult design problems in regard to constructing resilient infrastructure. Structural floor and roof diaphragms act as the horizontal portion of the lateral force resisting system (LFRS), distributing the seismically derived inertial loads out from the heavy concrete slabs to the vertical LFRS.

Abstract:
Plants and their fungal pathogens both produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). CytotoxicROS act both as stressors and signals in the plant-fungal interaction. In biotrophs, a compatible interaction generates little ROS, but is followed by disease. An incompatible interaction results in a strong oxidative burst by the host, limiting infection. Necrotrophs, in contrast, thrive on dead and dying cells in an oxidant-rich local environment. Rice blast, Magnaportheoryzae, a hemibiotroph, occurs worldwide on rice and related hosts and can decimate enough rice each year to feed sixty million people. Co

Abstract:
As the most widely used construction material, concrete is very durable and can provide long service life without extensive maintenance. The strength and durability of concrete are primarily influenced by the initial water-cement ratio value (w/c), and the curing condition during the hardening process also influences its performance. The w/c value is defined as the total mass of free water that can be consumed by hydration divided by the total mass of cement and any additional pozzolanic material such as fly ash, slag, silica fume. Once placed, field concrete pavements are routinely cured with
