Tests on RC slabs

Prescient project: The contribution and performance of RC slabs in the progressive collapse of structures subjected to accidental loads is investigated via testing a substructure of a two-span slab. A 2/3 scaled RC slab substructure designed according to current code procedures was tested quasi-statically.
