This work presents a model to predict the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete slabs, combining the Mazars damage model for simulation of the loss of stiffness of the concrete during the cracking process and the Classical Theory of Laminates, to govern the bending of the structural element. A variational formulation based on the principle of virtual work was developed for the model, and then treated numerically according to the Finite Difference Energy Method, with the end result a program developed in Fortran. To validate the model thus proposed have been simulated with the program, some cases of slabs in flexure in the literature. The evaluation of the results obtained in this study demonstrated the capability of the model, in view of the good predictability of the behavior of slabs in flexure, sweeping the path of equilibrium to the rupture of the structural element. Besides the satisfactory prediction of the behavior observed as positive aspects of the model to its relative simplicity and reduced number of experimental parameters necessary for modeling.

The influence of the structure parameters on the anti-impact performances of the reinforced concrete slab is studied in the article. The reinforced concrete model is established by using ANSYS 13.0/LS-DYNA and nonlinear finite element theory and the parameterized modeling is achieved. The results show that the increase of the thickness of the slab and the steel bar diameter result in the enhancement of impact resistant capability of the slab; a appropriate quantity of reinforcement is significant; Increasing the concrete strength has a distinct impact on the slab’s impact resistance when using relatively low strength concrete. However the influence becomes weak after the concrete strength comes to C60 and higher. The fruits are useful to the designing of reinforced concrete slabs.

Reinforced Concrete Slabs

Flat slabs have several advantages such as a reduced and simpler formwork, versatility, and easier space partitioning, thus making them an economical and efficient structural system. When producing structural components in series, every detail can lead to significant cost differences. In these cases, structural optimization is of paramount relevance. This paper reports on the structural optimization of reinforced concrete slabs, presenting the case of a rectangular slab with two clamped adjacent edges and two simply supported edges. Using the yield lines method and the principle of virtual work, a cost function can be formulated and optimized using simulated annealing (SA). Thus, the optimal distribution of reinforcing bars and slab thickness can be found considering the flexural ultimate limit state and market materials costs. The optimum result was defined by the orthotropic coefficient k = 8, anisotropic coefficient g = 1.4, and slab thickness H = 11.8 cm. A sensitivity analysis of the solution was developed considering different material costs.

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.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of the freeze-thaw cycles on the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete members. The variation of the concrete stress-strain relationship due to frozen-thawed deterioration was considered. The temperature distribution was calculated based on the heat conduction theory, and the damaged region affected by freeze-thaw cycles was determined. By using Reponse-2000 program, the flexural behaviour of a reinforced concrete slab was analyzed and predicted. The analytical results show that with increase of number of freeze-thaw cycles, the yield moment, the ultimate moment and the curvature ductility decreased, while the relative depth of neutral axis and the midspan deflection increased.

Many types of loading the structure must sustain in addition to dead and live loads according to the function of structural element type that must be taken in analysis.  Dynamic resistance to loading of reinforced concrete slabs using self-compact reactive powder concrete, with different boundary conditions at the sides in addition of static loading was studied. The reinforced concrete slabs were designed under static load according to ACI-318R-2014 and then the adequacy was checked under harmonic dynamic loading. The static loading consists of dead load and residential live load considering according to ASCE-07-2010. Modeling analysis was performed to determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors values and then frequency response analyses of the slab by finite elements method that adopted for analysis. The results indicated that in case of self-compacted reactive powder concrete rather than normal concrete gave deflection less and also there was a different result of deflection according the type of slab boundary condition 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.
