Shallow‐Buried RC Box‐Type Structures
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 3
Abstract
A method for the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) box‐type structures under the effects of severe dynamic loading conditions is presented. The method incorporates theoretical and experimental evaluations of RC slab behavior into a simplified structural model. The effects of dynamic loadings conditions on material properties, flexure, thrust, and shear are considered for model development and analysis. The method is illustrated by example, and comparisons to experimental data are presented.
