Composite plates, including laminates and sandwich structures, derive their mechanical performance from the interaction of stiff reinforcement and ductile matrix through the thickness. Classical plate ...

Structural designers say there is cause for concern but no reason to panic over research that indicates potential for premature failure of flat-plate concrete frames reinforced at slab-column ...

The American Institute of Steel Construction has released Design Guide 38, SpeedCore Systems for Steel Structures. The document pertains to the nonproprietary concrete-filled composite steel plate ...
