Abstract: In this paper, the in-plane deformability of floors in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures has been investigated in order to establish the role of lightening elements made of both traditional ceiling bricks and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) blocks. The… read more here.

Abstract: In the modelling of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, the rigid diaphragm hypothesis to represent the in-plane behavior of floors was and still is very commonly adopted because of its simplicity and computational cheapness. However, since… read more here.
