Bending Effect On The Mechanism Of Punching The Support Zone Of The Reinforced Concrete Slab
The analysis of various regulatory methods for calculating reinforced concrete slabs for punching and comparing with experiment results is made. The tested sample, measuring equipment and test bench are described. Dimensions and materials for the production of the prototype were chosen on the basis of experience in the construction of girderless and capless regular monolithic reinforced concrete frames. The results of experimental studies of a fragment of a slab reinforced concrete structure in order to study the stress-strain state, when implementing the mechanism of punching, are presented. The results of observations obtained during the tests are presented. A comparison of the nature of operation of the tested fragment of the slab with the nature of operation of the full-fledged construction is given. A comparative analysis of the stress-strain state of the tested sample and the results of the calculation of the bearing capacity for punching according to various normative methods is performed. According to the results of the experiment, the main criteria determining the implementation of the punching mechanism are established, and a new method for calculating girderless floors is proposed on the basis of a fundamentally different approach in determining the bearing capacity.
