Computational and theoretical studies of nodal joints in monolithic buildings by T. A. Belash, A. V. Kuznetsov

“…For example, for the ratio a/b equal to 100/100, the values of normal stresses ϭz amounted to 1.16 MPa, taking into account temperature and climatic influences in the cold season. New types of design solutions are proposed for the junctions of the floor slab with the wall, which allow to reduce the values of normal stresses to a level that does not exceed the standard values of the design compression resistance established by CP 63.13330.2018.Conclusions. …”
