Part of: Computing in Civil and Building Engineering

Abstract:

The emphasis of the investigation is on the diaphragm action of precast floor structures. In order to improve existing manual calculation methods a parameter study has been carried out using the finite element method computer package DIANA. In this contribution the modelling of the floors, boundary conditions and some results are described.
