Special design considerations for precast prestressed hollow core floors
Special design considerations for precast prestressed hollow core floors
Published in year 2000.
The former FIP Commission Prefabrication drafted the FIP Recommendations on the design of Precast prestressed hollow core floors, published by FIP in 1988 (Telford, London, ISBN 0-7277-1375-2). That document was highly appreciated by designers and public authorities because of the lack of guidance available elsewhere, especially with respect to some specific features of the product, for example the absence of transverse reinforcement. It has also served as a reference guide for national standards and especially for the CEN product standard on prestressed hollow core slabs.
During the production of that report it was felt that some design rules were incomplete or missing. In addition, research carried out since has resulted in complementary knowledge on the behaviour of hollow core floors, for example in combination with slender floor beams.
The present guide to good practice is intended to complement the existing recommendations. The research for the different items was carried out at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), Politecnico di Torino (Italy), VTT (Finland), University of Nottingham (United Kingdom), Building Research Institute (Poland), and the University of Rome (Italy).

Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat Magazine (CTBUH)
CTBUH Journal
The CTBUH Journal is an official periodic publication of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Published and circulated to the Council's worldwide membership three times each year, the Journal aims to document and publicize groundbreaking work taking place in the many fields related to tall buildings and urban development.
The Journal draws upon an esteemed Editorial Board of peer review experts to evaluate the quality and appropriateness of technical submissions, and promote the Journal as a key forum for the submission of research papers. In addition to technical papers, each Journal contains a number of features which are elaborated on below; global tall buildings news round-up, case studies, tall buildings in numbers, calendar listing of events, CTBUH news, book and exhibition reviews, etc.
All previous editions are available for free download.

One of America's most ambitious construction projects is currently underway on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. The 40-year-old Woodrow Wilson bridge, which carries drivers over the Potomac River while allowing boats to safely use the heavily trafficked water below, has proven inadequate for the demands of the 21st century. But, engineers have devised a solution: an updated, draw-span design that will accommodate increased traffic both above and below. Watch as the 2,000-ton bridge is shipped by barge from Florida to Maryland and carefully lifted into place, using precariously balanced strand jacks in the water. Then, see how workers install the massive concrete support piers – so huge that a special vehicle is commissioned to transport them to the site.
