Reinforced Concrete Slabs

In the course of the exploitation of building structures frequently situations turn up, in which the structure is not adequately used (it may, for instance, be exposed to considerably greater loads than previously been intended). In the state of an unforeseen overload of the structure, essential reserves of their load-bearing capacity may be disclosed in the case of the self-acting work as a flexible strand. The paper presents the results of investigations concerning the influence of the parameters of reinforcing steel on the mechanism of the destruction of six single-span models of narrow reinforced concrete slabs, in which a horizontal shift of the supports was not possible. The tests were carried out on narrow slabs with the dimensions 3860×480×100 mm. The results of the tests were compared with analytical calculations.

Reinforced Concrete Slabs

Despite the widespread usage of reinforced concrete slabs in construction industry, nowadays disasters due to sudden failure of such structures still occur. Assessment analyses of reinforced concrete slabs can nowadays be performed with a multitude of techniques, but many such methods are computationally too onerous, non-automated or overconservative. This paper proposes applications of a novel pseudo-lower bound method for evaluating the load-bearing capacity of slabs and estimating the most critical collapse mechanism. Such applications compare the results of analytical solutions, experiments and other bound methods with those obtained with the proposed pseudo-lower bound method. The case studies show evidence that great accuracy is achieved in terms of both estimation of load-bearing capacity and detection of collapse mechanism. The analysed case studies include different geometries, boundary conditions, loads and reinforcement layouts. Such numerical applications are presented in order to benchmark the accuracy and usefulness of the method.

This paper provided three test data pertaining to the mechanical properties of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) eccentric columns after exposure to fire and one comparative test data pertaining to the mechanical properties of steel reinforced concrete columns at room temperature. The influence of eccentricity on failure mode, distortion performance and ultimate load bearing capacity are mainly studied. Test results show that the failure modes of steel reinforced concrete eccentric columns after exposure to fire are similar to that at room temperature. Strain along the section height at mid-span section of eccentric columns before loaded to 90% ultimate load bearing capacity is linearly distributed and well agree with the plane section supposition. After exposure to fire, the flexural rigidity and load bearing capacity of specimens are all declined compared with that at normal temperature. In various loading stages from the initial loading to 80% ultimate strength, the ratio of flexural rigidity of SRC eccentric columns after exposure to fire and at normal temperature is ranged from 0.30 to 0.59. With the same concrete strength and heating condition, the ultimate strength of specimens decreases with the increasing of eccentricity. The ultimate bearing capacity of all specimens at normal room temperature is calculated on the method proposed by Chinese regulation JGJ 138-2001. The compared results of experimental values and calculating values show that the residual load bearing capacity of SRC eccentric columns after exposure to fire is about 69% to 81% of that at room temperature.

Abstract The performance of textile reinforced concrete composite panels (TRCCPs) under the action of pseudo-static load up to collapse was evaluated. The test of TRCCPs under axial and transverse loading was conducted, and the results were compared with those for steel wire mesh reinforced-concrete composite panels (SMRCCPs). Ceram-site concrete was utilized as the panel matrix owing to its lightweight and insulation characteristics. The ultimate load bearing capacity, load-deformation and load-strain relationships, and failure modes were discussed and investigated in comparison with the findings of non-linear finite-element-model (FEM) analysis and the analytic method on the basis of the reinforced concrete (RC) theory. The analysis results indicate that TRCCP is suitable for use as a potential structural member for a wall or slab system of buildings, and the typical RC theory can be applied to predict the ultimate load bearing capacity if modified suitably.

This paper provided three test data pertaining to the mechanical properties of reinforced concrete columns after exposure to ISO834 standard fire and three comparative test data pertaining to the mechanical properties of reinforced concrete columns at room temperature, mainly concerning the influence of fire on failure mode, distortion performance and ultimate load bearing capacity of reinforced concrete columns under axial and eccentric compression. Test results show that the failure mode of reinforced concrete columns after exposure to fire is basically same with that at room temperature. With the same concrete strength and heating condition, the bearing capacity of specimens reduces as the eccentricity increases. Strain along the section height of eccentric columns after fire basically agree with the plane section supposition while the flexural rigidity and ultimate load bearing capacity decreases obviously. The residual load bearing capacity of reinforced concrete columns after exposure to fire is only about 25% to 37% of that at room temperature.
