“…How to improve the plate yield rate, enhance enterprise competitiveness in the market has become the enterprises are facing problems [5][6][7][8][9][10] . Slab size design [11][12][13][14][15] is an important element for yield rate of steel plates. The current steel industries generally follow two principles, the maximum output and the priority slab type.…”

To improve the yield rate of steel plates, a method of slab size design is proposed based on maximum yield rate of plates. It includes material transformations algorithm and optimization of slab selection. Many factors are considered in the model covering the equipment capacity, spread rate, compression rate, burning loss and cutting loss. Initially, all possible types of slabs are obtained through material transformations algorithm after the order input. This allows the eventual determination of the slabs of the largest yield rate through the optimization of slab selection. The experiments prove that the model can reduce a number of materials and lessen the pressure of the inventory. An effective increase of plate yield can be expected to improve the economic efficiency of enterprise.

It is over a century ago that testing of reinforced concrete slabs by the pioneers of the material such as Lord, Turner and Maillart showed that restrained slabs could carry significant loads. Since that time the interest in and knowledge of the internal arching, or compressive membrane action, that enhances the strength of reinforced concrete has waxed and waned. In this paper, definitions of key terms such as arching action, compressive membrane action and geometric arching are given. A review of key twentieth century research and testing is also given, with particular emphasis on aspects related to bridge decks. The more recent advances in compressive membrane action and punching shear are then outlined. A graphical summary of key tests is presented, together with an initial analysis of these data. The current American, British and European bridge codes incorporating compressive membrane action are reviewed and the major differences outlined in the light of this recent research. Finally the key issues are summarised and a few thoughts on future research and the codification of arching action and compressive membrane action are given
