Abstract:
Describes the engineering analysis, design, and removal and replacement of a severely deteriorated one-way slab on a reinforced concrete frame. Selection of the slab replacement option allowed the existing concrete beams and frame components to be salvaged to provide support for the new slab system, and extended the structure's service life considerably. Problems encountered during the restoration project are discussed.
