DESIGN GUIDANCE FOR OPTIMUM DIMENSIONS OF SINGLE PANEL SOLID SLABS

للكاتب Sameh. El-Refaie Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering at El-Mataria, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt Abstract Standard codes of practice give minimum and maximum limits for concrete and steel reinforcement dimensions in order to satisfy serviceability and ultimate limits. However, there exist optimum dimensions for concrete and steel reinforcement that not only satisfy the code provisions but also they give …

ELASTO-PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAME STRUCTURES

للكاتبين A.Kadid , R..Chebili,A.Zine ABSTRACT: The Boumerdes 2003 earthquake which has devastated a large part of the north of Algeria has raised questions about the adequacy of framed structures to resist strong motions, since many buildings suffered great damage or collapsed. To investigate the behaviour of framed buildings under future expected earthquakes, a non linear static pushover analysis has been …
