In reinforced concrete flat slab buildings, the transference of unbalanced moments in the slab?column connections usually results from the asymmetry of spans, vertical loads, and horizontal forces from the wind. The punching strength of the slab?column c...

A new type of spherical node was used to design a laboratory-scale prototype of a six-leg lattice of steel tubes and concrete for application as a wind turbine tower. Repeated load tests were performed on the prototype tower for several weeks to evaluate...
