Lecture

Structural Behavior of Slabs

Description

This lecture covers the classification of slabs based on unidirectional or bidirectional behavior, the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete slabs, and the behavior of mixed steel-concrete slabs. It also discusses the influence zones of linear supports, thermal seals, and insulating consoles for balconies. The instructor explains the load transmission in floor-slabs, reactions on specific supports, and the similarity to beams. Additionally, it addresses the determinants of slab thickness, standardization of forces, and popular column spans. The lecture concludes with the study of slab support reactions, the uniform distribution of moments in continuous beams, and the determination of loads acting on slabs.
