Making the Case for Adaptive Reuse of RC Slabs in Buildings Using LimitState:SLAB

WEBINAR | 30th Jun 2023 | 12:30 - 13:00 BST

Join us on June 30th as we outline the capabilities of LimitState:SLAB. Specifically, discover how this groundbreaking software can empower engineers to uncover hidden reserves of strength within existing RC slabs in buildings.

Unleashing the Hidden Potential of Existing RC Structures.

As the need to reduce the embodied carbon associated with construction intensifies, adaptive reuse of structures is gaining in popularity. Repurposing existing reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures has emerged as a compelling solution. However, accurately assessing an existing building's capacity to meet given performance requirements is crucial.

Yield-line analysis is a widely accepted ultimate limit state analysis method for concrete slab structures, which can often demonstrate the presence of significant additional capacity. However, in recent years the method has been frequently overlooked, due to the need to manually identify the critical failure mechanism.

Enter LimitState:SLAB, the pioneering software that revolutionizes yield-line analysis by fully automating the process. This means that the benefits of the method can be fully realised, with the key downside traditionally associated with it.
