Methods for Predicting Strength in Composite Slabs
Fatigue Strength of Welded Wire Fabric
Long life fatigue tests were made on 12 concrete slabs reinforced with large diameter, Grade 75, deformed welded wire fabric. The specimens simulated, to full scale, conditions in a bare...
Composite Deck Slab Standard Will be Updated
Analysis of R/C Slab Under Turbine Missile Impact
Turbine missile impact on reinforced concrete barrier in nuclear reactor power plants is simulated using the finite element method. One of four full scale turbine missile impact tests...
Slab Participation in Frames under Lateral Loads
A unique opportunity to study slab participation was afforded by the U. S. -Japan Cooperative project on large scale testing. The data obtained from the full-scale 7-story building tested...
Structural Analysis by Spreadsheet
This is an introduction to and description of use of a spreadsheet to analyze a two-way slab on a microcomputer. The spreadsheet used is Lotus 1-2-3, but the ideas generally apply to many...
Factory Chic
Developers of the International Design Center of New York have recently spent $163 million to convert an unused chewing gum factory and a former battery plant into a showcase for New York...
Static and Fatigue Tests of Simulated Bridge Decks
Proposed Design Criteria for Composite Steel Deck Slabs
Composite steel deck slabs have continued to gain popularity; today they are one of the predominant means of floor slab construction in most typical buildings. The term 'composite...
Strength of Composite Beams under Seismic Loading
Effective width of a concrete slab of a composite beam is specified in various specifications, but their theoretical backgrounds are obscure. Originally, they must have been specified...
Construction-Induced Dynamic Pressure and Corresponding Impact Factors for Pipelines
The Bureau of Reclamation, U. S. Department of the Interior, conducted a study which measured pressure exerted by construction scrapers on a rigid, buried, instrumented concrete slab....
Load-Bearing Capacity of Masonry Walls in a Critical Buckling Condition Taking Into Account the Restraining Effect of Floor Slabs
This paper studies the buckling effect of masonry walls and concrete floor slabs as a frame system. The frame is calculated according to the theory of II. order. The buckling length, the...
Wall/Floor-Slab Interaction in Brickwork Structures
The paper summarises the results of three series of tests on sections of brickwork structure carried out with a view to determining the characteristics of wall/floor slab joints in terms...
Specifications for the Design and Construction of Composite Slabs and Commentary on Specifications for the Design and Construction of Composite Slabs
Composite slab construction is defined as a system comprising normal weight or lightweight structural concrete placed permanently over cold-formed steel decking in which the steel deck...
Performance of Cogoti Dam Under Seismic Loading
At the time of its completion in 1938, the 280 ft (85 m) high Cogoti concrete face rockfill dam was exceeded in height by only one other dam of its type in the world, Salt Springs Dam....
New Exchequer Dam, California
New Exchequer Dam design, in 1963, was in the transition period in which dumped rockfill was being recognized as having undesirable settlement characteristics, and compaction of rockfill...
Alto Anchicaya Dam?Ten Years Performance
The general aspects of design and construction of the Alto Anchicaya Dam duilt during 1970 - 1974 in Colombia, South America are described. The paper refers to the performance of the structure...
Golillas Dam?Design, Construction and Performance
Golillas Dam is a concrete face, gravel fill dam, 125 m (410 ft) high built seven years ago that has had some difficulties during its initial operating years; due to the shape of the canyon,...
The R. D. Bailey Dam, a Concrete-Faced, Earth-Rockfill
A case history for the R. D. Bailey Dam, describing its comparatively unique design and construction considerations, and its operational performance since initial reservoir filling in...
Fortuna Concrete Face Rockfill Dam
The Fortuna Dam is a 60 m high concrete face rockfill dam located in Panama, designed to be built in two stages. This paper describes the construction of the first stage dam, 60 m high,...
