A transfer slab takes the load from columns that sit above the slab and transfers it to supporting columns placed underneath without the provision of transfer beams. They are commonly used in ...

The object of this booklet is to place before the busy engineers and draughtsmen, in as concise a form as possible, practical information in regard to reinforced concrete construction ... in a double ...

Structural pre-dimensioning is crucial to the initial design of the structural ... of pre-dimensioning slabs, beams, and pillars of buildings built with reinforced concrete. There are several ...

Reinforced concrete coupling beams usually connect these shear walls. This research summarizes the design procedures of reinforced concrete coupling beams. Although there are many aspects to the ...

Therefore, the present work, through the study of experimental results in the literature, aims to present recommendations for the design of indirect supports and hanger reinforcements in reinforced ...

The need to overcome larger spans with reinforced concrete elements, without interfering in the architecture design and resist greater loads, generates greater shear stresses in beams and slabs.
