Contact Stiffness Method for Evaluating the Load Distribution between Slabs and Shoring and Reshoring Systems during Construction of High-Rise Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Abstract

AbstractThe construction phase is critical for structural safety, particularly for high-rise cast-in-place RC buildings. This phase is even more challenging when using shores and reshores as temporary supports for several immature slabs. To ensure safety ...Practical ApplicationsUsing the contact stiffness method, engineers in high-rise RC buildings can do a much better load distribution analysis between shores/reshores and several immature concrete slabs. The contact stiffness method helps to understand how ...
