The Moment

Slabs with continuous drop panels between column lines facilitate formwork, make long spans possible in addition to increase punching shear resistance around supports and provide unobstructed spans with minimum structural floor depth resulting in lower floor-to-floor heights. The moment distribution in such slabs is different from that in conventional flat plates or slabs with drop panels systems. Dimensioning according to the current provisions in CSA A23.3-94 is problematic because the continuous drop panels are subject to moments exceeding the minimum values allowed by the Code for conventional slab systems. This analytical study presents the moment distribution in slabs with continuous drop panels in an attempt to provide more realistic transverse moment distribution factors.Key words: reinforced concrete, slab systems, slab design, drop panel, moment distribution.

Reinforced Concrete Slabs

The "flat slab" is a reinforced concrete slab bolstered, by a number of columns. Punching, shear is a category for collapse for reinforced concrete slabs exposed to great confined forces. In "flat slab" constructions the shear failure happens, at column bolster joints. To avoid this, collapse two methods are used, first method is increasing the column dimensions and, the other is to use drop panel if the first method leads to uneconomical, design. Two examples are used to find the effect, of column dimensions, increase on the punching shear failure of "flat slab". The first example, is a "flat slab" of span (5 by 5) m and the other is of span (6 by 6) m. The column which examined is the interior, edge and corner columns, and the interior column is the most dangerous case. It is concluded that, the increase of column dimensions are lead to avoid of punching shear failure in "flat slab" and the drop panel is enlarge the area of the critical shear perimeter and this avoiding punching shear failure.

The Moment

Reinforced concrete slab has the property of two-way bending. In this paper, four test specimens of reinforced concrete slabs were set up to be determined the strain and deflection at corresponding position. The results show that the bending of reinforced concrete slab does have two-way nature and the moment in one direction will cause the deformation of the other orthogonal direction, which can be reflected by the changes of curvature. At last, the conclusions are given: The calculation formula, which was derived from deflection calculation of beams and now is applied to the slabs, will result in no small calculation errors. The moment on one direction will cause the deformation of the other orthogonal direction and its size is related to the poisson’s ratio of the compressed concrete. And the size also is related to the strength grade of concrete and the reinforcement ratio, and so on. And the idea is further pointed out that it also can be used to solve the deflection calculation of concrete two-way slab.

The Common

The thickness of the raft slab is determined by punching shear. The raft slab is commonly thick, which causes concrete volume is large. Mass concrete can bring disadvantage to the foundation. In order to increase the bearing capacity and reduce the thickness, it is suggested that the raft slab to be reinforced by steel fibers. There are five groups of specimens in this paper. S1 is the common reinforced concrete slab. S2 and S3 are concrete slabs reinforced by steel fibers broadcasted layer by layer when casting specimen. S4 and S5 are concrete slabs reinforced by steel fibers mixed homogeneously when making concrete. The punching shear tests of these slabs were done. The test results indicate that the punching shear capacity of the slab reinforced with steel fibers is higher than that of concrete slab, the stiffness and crack resistance of the steel fibers reinforced concrete slab are better than those of the common concrete slab and the punching shear of the slabs with different construction methods of steel fibers is similar. It analyses the punching shear behavior of the slab reinforced with steel fibers and suggests the ultimate bearing formula. The calculative values are coincided with the measured values well.

Nowadays finite element software is used for the design and analysis of reinforced concrete slabs. This paper intends to have a critical review based on a comparison study between the three design methods and to estimate the amount of reinforcement to be provided in each case. The three methods discussed are; the three-layer sandwich model (IRC 112-2011), Wood Armer method (EN1992-1-1:2004) and the conventional design method as per IS 456-2000. In the recently revised code for bridges IRC 112-2011, there is a recommendation to adopt three-layer sandwich model for the design of reinforced concrete slab. In this paper, a critical review of this method is done, and it is used for slabs subjected to uniformly distributed load. This method is illustrated by considering the design of rectangular slab subjected to uniformly distributed load. The results of this method are compared with the results obtained using Wood Armer method and using the moment coefficients suggested in IS 456-2000.

The Impact

Many research studies have been conducted on the effect of impact loading on structures, and design procedures were proposed for reinforced concrete (RC) slabs; however the availability of these studies and procedures are limited for prestressed slabs. The proposed research will examine, using numerical analysis, the impact of rock fall on prestressed concrete slabs with equivalent moment capacity reinforced concrete slabs. It is expected that prestressed concrete slabs will have different behavior to resist impact loading compared with traditional reinforced concrete slabs. The thickness of the prestressed concrete slab will be 25cm whereas that of the reinforced concrete slab will be 30cm. The impact loading consists of 500Kg drop weight. The drop height will be 10m, 15m and 20m.The structural analysis is performed using a Finite Element program "ABAQUS". A comparison will be done between both slab types in terms of failure mode, damage, and deflection. It has been found that both slabs failed in punching. However, the RC slab performed better than the prestressed concrete slab with respect to the value of the deflection at mid-span, while both showed punching shear mode of failure.

The Impact

Loads resulting from activities such as rock fall, heavy drop weights (for e.g. equipment's, heavy machines during installation), missile and aircraft interaction with slabs may results in loading intensity which have higher magnitude as compared to static loading. Based on the velocity of the impacting object at the time of contact, these activities may result in impact loading. Therefore, slabs designed should provide resistance to these accidental loading during their entire operational life. In this study, a dynamic non-linear finite element analyses were conducted to investigate the behavior of the reinforced concrete slabs subjected to high-mass low-velocity impacts. For this purpose, initially an already published impact test results were used to validate the numerical predictions. Following validation, a study was conducted to investigate the influence of the impact velocity on the behavior of the reinforced concrete slab. Based on the numerical investigation, it was found that the velocity of the impacting object has a significant influence on the behavior exhibited by slab under impact loading. Furthermore, it was also found that the behavior of slab under impact is both local and global. Local behavior is associated with the damage caused at the contact area of the slab and the impactor, whereas global behavior refers to the overall deformation of the slab when stress waves move away from the impact zone and travel towards the supports.

Reinforced concrete is perhaps the most widely used building material in the world. However, the materials used for reinforcement of concrete i.e. steel is quite expensive and scarcely available in the developing world. As a result, bamboo is considered to be a cheaper replacement with high tensile strength. This research investigated the structural behaviour of bamboo-reinforced concrete slabs used for footplate foundation subjected to concentrated load. For this purpose, four different reinforced concrete slab panels were developed and analyzed. The influence of replacing steel with bamboo for the reinforcement of concrete slabs on their structural behaviour was assessed by determining the load-deflection characteristics, the ultimate load, the stiffness, the ductility, the cracking pattern, and the energy absorption capacity. The results showed that in comparison to steel reinforced concrete slabs, the strength of 82% can be acquired by the bamboo reinforced slabs. Furthermore, ductility demonstrated by the two types of specimens was almost equivalent i.e. up to 93%. Those indicated that the structural behaviour demonstrated by bamboo reinforced slabs is quite comparable to that of steel reinforced concrete slabs. Therefore, bamboo can prove to be a promising substitute for steel in concrete reinforcement. Future studies may further examine this opportunity.

The present experimental work investigates the applicability and performance of a new strengthening method for concrete slabs, intended to increase their punching resistance using combination layers of steel wire mesh with epoxy attached to the concrete slabs’ tension face. Six simply supported square reinforced concrete slab specimens were tested up to failure under a central concentrated load. The main parameters in the study are the concrete compressive strength (30 MPa and 65 MPa) and the configuration of a bundle externally fixed to the tension side of the tested slabs. The experimental results appeared to greatly enhance the performance of the specimens, as they were externally strengthenined under this new method. When compared to the control slabs, the punching load and stiffness of the strengthened slabs increased up to 28% and 21%, respectively.

The article presents the methodology and results of an analytical study of structural parameters influence on the value of punching force for the joint of columns and flat reinforced concrete slab. This design solution is typical for monolithic reinforced concrete girderless frames, which have a wide application in the construction of high-rise buildings. As the results of earlier studies show the punching shear strength of slabs at rectangular columns can be lower than at square columns with a similar length of the control perimeter. The influence of two structural parameters on the punching strength of the plate is investigated - the ratio of the side of the column cross-section to the effective depth of slab C/d and the ratio of the sides of the rectangular column Cmax/Cmin. According to the results of the study, graphs of reduction the control perimeter depending on the structural parameters are presented for columns square and rectangular cross-sections. Comparison of results obtained by proposed approach and MC2010 simplified method are shown, that proposed approach gives a more conservative estimate of the influence of the structural parameters. A significant influence of the considered structural parameters on punching shear strength of reinforced concrete slabs is confirmed by the results of experimental studies. The results of the study confirm the necessity of taking into account the considered structural parameters when calculating the punching shear strength of flat reinforced concrete slabs and further development of code design methods.
