Abstract: This paper proposes a new kind of composite waffle slab that consists of orthogonal steel girders and flat RC slab. The steel beams help decrease the cracking that occurs with concrete, and using prefabricated RC slabs ...

Abstract: The longitudinal stiffness of multispan suspension bridges plays an important role in load-resisting systems. In this paper, a model defined as the kinematic multispring (KMS) model is proposed for simulating the longitudinal ...
