Abstract: The analysis of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures by using finite element techniques takes great attentions through the last two decades. A lot of finite element packages like ANSYS, ABAQUS, COSMOS, Dyna-3D, and NASTRAN have been modified to be used in the analysis of different elements of RC structures. In this paper ANSYS finite element software was used to analyze the structural behavior of high strength RC slabs. The analysis of RC slabs was considered in three dimensions finite element analysis, where effects of material and geometric nonlinearities were taken into consideration to increase the accuracy of the results. Flexural capacity of RC slabs was measured experimentally and calculated analytically using ANSYS. Comparisons between experimental and analytical results were performed. Comparisons between typical cracks patterns and modes of failure were comparable.

Author(s): CEVDET EMIN EKINCI
Abstract: In this study, it is aimed to introduce a new certification system which certificates and investigates that the building is stable, peaceful, comfortable, harmonious, healthy, and compatible or not with the user identity and intended purpose. The proposed new system is the name of the Bioharmological Conformity Assessment. Its short name is BCA. The proposed system has been applied in a regional boarding school in Elazig-Turkey. At the end of the study very interesting results were obtained. In study, a regional boarding school building in Elazig was examined in the scope of BCA according to 14 basic criteria of Planning, Project Design and Application (PPA). BCA Certificate Class of the examined building was determined as “Should be Improved (A)” and deficiency-inadequacy level was determined as 52%. Mechanical system (84%), practice according to the technique (83%), Lighting (67%), building installations (65%), furnishing and configuration (58%) and selection of appropriate materials
