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 ...
The study investigates the cyclic bond behavior of FRP bars from four key parameters—bar diameter, embedment length, concrete strength, and rib geometry—leading to the development of a unified bond ...
Most slabs-on-ground are unreinforced or nominally reinforced for crack-width control. When positioned in the upper or top portion of the slab thickness, steel reinforcement limits the widths of ...
