Most slabs-on-ground are unreinforced or nominally reinforced for crack-width control. When positioned in the upper or top portion of the slab thickness, steel reinforcement limits the widths of ...

A comprehensive investigation into the punching shear (PS) strengthening behavior of corroded two-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs using thin-ply glass/carbon hybrid FRP was conducted through an ...

Punching shear failure is a common issue in the connection between flat slabs and reinforced concrete columns. Once failure occurs, a supplementary load-carrying mechanism is necessary to prevent the ...

The concrete slab can be thought of as the wearing cap for the building pad and base course. A well compacted and smooth subgrade is critical to a successful slab. Slab formwork, jointing details, ...
