Abstract:
A double-loop connection in bending between precast slabs was proposed for an offshore coal terminal project at the Hadera Power Station, Israel. The owners and designers elected to test the flexural performance and bearing capacity of the slab specimens. Tests were conducted on four full-size slabs. The testing program and its results are discussed.*
