Two-Way Slab Systems: Recent Developments and Showcases on Design, Analysis, Construction, and Evaluation Methods-Analysis of Flat-Plate and Frame Construction (Recorded presentation)

Analysis of Flat-Plate and Frame Construction (Recorded presentation)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses a session dedicated to honoring the contributions of Gene Corley in the field of structural engineering, specifically his work on flat plate and frame construction. Neil Hawkins, an emeritus professor from the University of Illinois, presents on Corley's significant achievements. Corley's research focused on equivalent frame analysis and addressing punching shear failures in slab systems. He contributed to the development of methods and codes that improved structural integrity and analysis, particularly in handling gravity loads and torsional effects. The session also touches on issues like shear head reinforcement and moment transfer in columns. Hawkins underscores the need for further research in areas such as punching shear, size effects in slabs, and enhanced ductility provisions for frameworks with various types of reinforcement. The session reflects on Corley's lasting impact on structural engineering codes and methods while acknowledging the areas that require ongoing study to adapt to modern construction demands.
