In U.S. standards like ACI-318, slab bands are modeled as a system of wide and shallow beams in one direction. The concrete floor system with slab bands shown below is for an intermediate floor to be designed considering loads described in design data below. The lateral loads are independently resisted by shear walls.

The document discusses band beam and primary-secondary beam systems. A band beam system uses wide, shallow beams (band beams) running perpendicular to shorter spans to support a slab.

2024年12月1日 · Band-Beam reinforced concrete slabs are studied for close-in detonations. Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE) numerical study used to assess the damage. ALE modelling can accurately predict panel damage. Spall damage and deflection is effectively controlled by C-hooks. Diagonal reinforcement can provide confinement to limit cracking.

Comprising reinforced concrete slabs supported by a series of parallel, wide beams known as band beams, it predominantly spans in a single direction. This unique design facilitates the effective distribution of loads to the underlying columns.

2016年1月10日 · This study presents and discusses the results of two half-scale exterior post-tensioned wide band beam to column connections designed to AS3600-2009 using no special seismic detailing and subjected to quasi-static lateral loading.

There are beams between the columns. If the beams are wide and shallow, they are termed as band beams. Should you need further assistance, do let us know. It is a type of beam which is followed when one span of the member is much larger than the other span i.e. (Aspect ratio is greater than 1.4). ULTRAshell Band Beams.

2024年6月15日 · A "band-beam slab" or "slab with a shallow beam" is one of the most used slab types in modern multi-storey buildings, especially on basements and lower floors. The band-beam slabs are commonly used to save headspace and floor-to-floor heights of multi-storeyed buildings.

2025年3月12日 · A band beam is a reinforced concrete structural element that is wider than it is deep, typically used in floor systems to support a slab spanning in one direction. Band beams offer a way to reduce slab thickness and simplify reinforcement detailing.

2014年7月9日 · Band beams or thickened slab bands are a two-way slab system and are not treated as beams, except for shear. This system consists of a slab spanning between beams (which span between columns) and usually an intermediate joist in one direction. Frequently, the slab thickness between the joists is controlled by requirements for fire-resistance.

Band beams are the width and shallow beams and has been introduced as a part of the building structure. The illustrate of the band beam is shown in Figure 2.6 and
