Joint Spacing in Concrete WallsThe article provides an answer to a question regarding the proper spacing between the contraction-expansion joints in cast-in-place concrete walls (h=12 feet [3.6 meters]) in a first-story of a fi...
The following recommended prac-tices should be observed:a.The maximum joint spacing should be 24 to 36 timesthe thickness of the slab. For example, in a 4-inch[100 mm] thick slab the joint spacing should be aboutSaw cutTooledWall or ColumnExpansion joint materialSlab on gradeColumn...
Aiming to assess the actual slab-interaction effects on the overall response, a full 3D Finite Element (FE) model representative of a beam-to-column composite joint taking part of a braced frame is described in ABAQUS and validated towards past full-scale experiments. A parametric study is ...
Inspection method: observe and check the construction record The general project construction joint shall be located in the 7.4.5 on the concrete deflection Chikuzen according to design requirements and construction technology scheme, construction joint treatment should be performed according to the ...
The static schemes adopted are the same for both bridges, consisting of continuous beams interrupted by a joint (internal hinge) in the middle point (Figs. 3b and 4b), with cantilevers in the proximity of the abutments connected to the shoulder through a floating slab (Fenu et al. 2019)...
Connection structure; beam column joint; joint structure The connection structure of the beam column joint of 5.1.1 frame should be simple in structure, clear in force and easy to be poured, rammed and reinforced by concrete. 5.1.2 steel reinforced concrete composite beams and columns can be ...
The effect of burning on the load-bearing capability of a column with varying tie spacing. Fire duration. Strengthening of RC column after being exposed to fire by RC jacket. 2 Research significance The primary goal of fire safety design is to protect people and property from the dangers posed...
In a half-joint, the reinforcement detailing to ensure the transfer of forces from the load point, through the nib, and into the full depth section is critical. Half joint details have come under scrutiny since the collapse of a section of the de la Concorde Overpass in Quebec, Canada in...
Finally, the test was stopped when it was decided that composite action was lost almost completely (large relative slip between the steel and the concrete combined with crushed concrete trickling out of the composite joint while the gap being opened and closed with the loading cycle). Table 1....
