or even a structure. Expansion joints are more common on big commercial projects and often aren’t required when pouring residential slabs. These joints usually require filling, especially if the concrete is going to be polished or finished with a coating (seeSealing Joints in a Concrete Slab)....
Cracks in concrete slabs can be to a large extent effectively regulated and the random occurrence of cracks can be prevented. Finally, the generated knowledge and the modeling technology were applied into a real project with tight restrictions on concrete cracks. By properly setting control joints ...
The pioneers of joint free slabs, a revolutionary new method of constructing large areas of concrete slabs without the need for any control joints.
This paper presents the fundamentals of an indirect flexural crack control procedure for the serviceability design of concrete beams and one-way slabs reinforced with FRP bars. Rather than calculating crack widths, the proposed procedure follows the format of the flexural crack control model for struct...
Based on thermal–mechanical coupling simulation analysis and physical engineering tracking observation, the mechanical behavior and response of a continuously reinforced concrete and asphalt concrete (CRC + AC) composite pavement layer were analyzed, and the causes of cracking on the surface and bottom ...
We apply the anti-termite treatment to the construction. We do this at every phase of the building. We keep termites out by using a chemical barrier before pouring the concrete slab. Post Construction This method helps with termite issues in buildings. It includes drilling holes and injecting ...
Crack analysis of reinforced concrete two-way slabs Offshore structures are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, including the structure's existence in the splash zone as well as exposure to seawater and sea spray. The design of offshore structures is controlled by mandatory design ... MAA ...
In an addition to 2539521 a boring tool consists of a drill bit drive shaft with a cutter connected to it and driving from an attachment stop collar. A rubber coated disc by means of which the friction developed on the wall upper or top surface can be increased, is incorporated. This dis...
two-way slabsThis paper is concerned with the effects of high construction loads on long term deflections, and evaluates the ACI 318 deflection control requirements. Practical applications involving two building construction cases are presented. In these cases, the concrete slabs developed extensive ...
Solid slabs with drop panels or beams are idealized as horizontal grid of rigidly connected short prismatic members, subjected to gravity loads, and prestressing forces. Creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressing reinforcement are considered. The effect of transient loading inducing ...
