Orthotropic Rigidities of Curved Concrete Waffle Slabs

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Structural Engineering in Natural Hazards Mitigation

Abstract:

Analytical expressions are derived for predicting the flexural and torsional rigidities during the pre-cracking and post-cracking stages for horizontally- curved waffle slab structures. The experimental program consisted of nine tests on scaled models of curved concrete waffle slabs. The experimental investigation confirm the analytical predictions.
