Load Transfer from High Strength Concrete Columns through Ordinary Strength Concrete Slabs

Abstract

The progress of human development has often been reckoned in terms of the material used by society, e.g the Stone Age in the prehistoric period and than progressing through bronze, iron, and successively more sophisticated materials and their combination in this modern age. Early people used material largely as they were produced by nature, but today we have come to rely increasingly on engineered materials.
