In order to study the basic mechanical property of the new honeycombed-core girderless floor in cast-in-place reinforced concrete, and similarities and differences of the structural performance compared with traditional floor, we carried out the destructive stage loading test on large-scale corner columns supported reinforced concrete honeycombed-core girderless floor. And the thesis conducted finite element analysis in virtue of ANSYS software for solid slab floor, rib floor and honeycombed-core floor. The experiment indicates that honeycombed-core modules cement well with concrete around and participate in the load-carrying; the developing process, distribution and failure mode of crevice in honeycombed-core floor are similar to that of general solid girderless floor. The honeycombed-core girderless floor has higher bearing capacity and better plastic deformation capacity. The finite element analysis manifest that compared with solid slab floor, honeycombed- core floor’s dead load decreases on greater level while deformation increases little, and that compared with rib floor, honeycombed-core girderless floor has higher rigidity. So reinforced concrete honeycombed-core girderless floor is particularly suitable for long-span and large-bay building structure.

An example of horizontal cracks on the surface of reinforced concrete side-columns is presented. Based on the finite element analysis , a conclusion is made that those cracks are caused by the frame’s deformation under changing temperature. Then the way to calculate the width of such cracks is raised. The design method for the reparation by sticking carbon fiber materials to the column is also developed. Those methods are applicable in realistic works.

Abstract: Understanding the response of concrete structural components such as beams, columns, walls during loading is indispensable for the development of safeand efficient structures. The present report deals with the non-linear static analysis of a Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam, having dimensions 4000mmX400mmX 250mm, with 4 nos. of 16mm diameter bar as main reinforcements, 8mm diameter at 200mm c/c as shear reinforcement, with two faces of the beam as fixed modeled and analyzed when subjected to two point loads at one-third span from each fixed support using the Finite Element Analysis software Ansys. The behavior of the analyzed beam has been observed in terms of flexural behavior, load-deflection responses, and crack pattern for various loading conditions until failure load. Keywords: Finite element analysis, ANSYS, flexural behavior, Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams, material non- linearity, shear reinforcement.
