Abstract: This paper describes the behavior of profiled concrete shear panels that may be used as core walls in framed construction. This research developed as a part of a larger program of work on a novel form of composite walling ...

Abstract: The procedures involved in the use of a typical finite-element model for the development of prediction charts for partially clamped, reinforced concrete slabs, under uniformly distributed loading, are demonstrated in this ...

Abstract: Previous test results of two-way fully restrained reinforced concrete slabs are used to optimize the model parameter values involved in a finite element program. The parameters whose sensitivities control the simulation ...

Abstract: A durable, high-performance concrete is important for sustainable construction. Organic admixtures, a fair contender against its traditional chemical counterpart, is being explored in response to the renewed interest in ...
