Concrete slabs form the backbone of countless industrial and material-handling facilities. Whether supporting heavy machinery, mezzanines, pallet racks, or conveyors, a slab must be able to bear ...

This study experimentally investigates the structural behavior of steel–concrete composite slabs under monotonic loading, with a focus on evaluating the influence of fiber content, fiber types, layer ...

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 ...
