This study evaluated the shear performance of prestressed concrete hollow core slabs (HCS), which are convenient to use as floor structures of flexible spaces. A total of 18 specimens, with cross-sectional height and presence of topping concrete as variables, were fabricated by extrusion. A four-point loading test was conducted using simply supported beams. The results showed that shear performance satisfied the requirements of ACI 318-19 regardless of cross-sectional height or presence of topping concrete. Through comparison with past studies, the web-shear strength of HCS was found to be influenced by compressive stress due to prestress at the centroid, compressive strength of concrete, and shear span-to-depth ratio.

The structural designs of floors formed by hollow core slabs usually consider these as simply-supported slabs. In recent years there have been project changes and hollow core slabs with continuity are widely used. The objective of this study is to suggest a way to calculate the reinforcement bars to be used in tests with continuity provided by a structural topping. Thus, this paper presents a method based on the maximum positive resistance moment and maximum shear strength of a hollow core slab. The method is applied to a test in hollow core slab specimens which have the following dimensions: 2 m width, 6 m long, and 21 cm high. The results indicated that the method was satisfactory to the performed test, and can therefore be applied to the other test configurations or even designs.

This study presents a strengthening method for reinforced concrete (RC) columns. The proposed method, which consists of a pair of steel rods, two reverse-threaded couplers, and four corner blocks, is feasible and straightforward. A quasi-static cyclic loading test was performed on the columns externally strengthened by the steel rods. It was found that the corner blocks and the external steel rods with a low prestress level effectively confined the concrete on the compression side of plastic hinges, which eventually induced flexural failure with a ductility higher than three in the strengthened columns. In addition, an analytical approach to predict the shear strength and ultimate flexural strength of the externally strengthened columns was applied. The comparison of analytical and experimental results showed that the analytical approach provided highly accurate predictions on the maximum strength and the failure mode of the externally strengthened columns. It is expected that the application of the proposed method will improve the seismic performance of damaged or deteriorated RC structures, thereby increasing their lifespan expectancy and sustainability.

Local corrosion damage of steel structures can occur due to damage to the paint-coated surface of structures. Such damage can affect the structural behavior and performance of steel structures. Compressive loading tests were, thus, carried out in this study to examine the effect of local corrosion damage on the structural behavior and strength of tubular members. Artificial cross-sectional damage on the surface of the tubular members was introduced to reflect the actual corroded damage under exposure to a corrosion environment. The compressive failure modes and compressive strengths of the tubular members were compared according to the localized cross-sectional damage. The compressive loading test results showed that the compressive strengths were affected by the damaged width within a certain range. In addition, finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted with various parameters to determine the effects of the damage on the failure mode and compressive strength of the stub column. From the FEA results, the compressive strength was decreased proportionally with the equivalent cross-sectional area ratio and damaged volume ratio.

In this article, an experimental investigation is carried out to understand the behaviour of sandwich deep beams. The shear strength, load transfer mechanism, integral action and failure modes are reported. Primary variables of this study include distribution of web reinforcement, beam geometry and type of loading. Twelve full-scale beams were tested with simply supported end conditions classifying them into two groups. Each series consists of six beams with rectangular and I-shaped cross-sectional geometry. Two types of loading, i.e. concentrated and uniformly distributed loads, were adopted to understand the influence of distribution of horizontal reinforcement along the depth of beam in the web. Using both types of cross-sections, two beams were tested under uniformly distributed loads, and all the remaining beams were subjected to concentrated load with two different shear span-to-depth ratios (a/d). Observations of the study with respect to strength and serviceability include initial cracking load, ultimate load, crack width, transverse deflection and out-of-plane deformations. The test results indicated that confined or unconfined I-beams in the web failed due to punching shear under concentrated or distributed loads. The modes of failure of rectangular beams with web confinement were diagonal splitting and shear-compression, whereas the unconfined beams failed in flexure. Shear strength expression for conventional deep beams is refined for sandwich beams, and the predicted shear strength agrees well with the experimental results.

Plastic waste is the largest contributor in the world and belongs to the class of materials that can not be broken down by organisms (non-bio-degradable) and durable (persistent) which does not rot. It can be seen directly from this waste that is lightweight and not easily deformed. Terephthalate polyethylene plastic types are widely used as mineral water bottles can be recycled as coarse aggregate for lightweight concrete manufacture. In this study, carried out the loading test compressive strength. To determine the properties of lightweight concrete, tested the modulus of elasticity, compressive strength, and strong Pull. The physical and mechanical nature of light concrete in the use of waste plastics PET instead of coarse aggregate must be following existing regulations. The compressive strength of concrete with the highest in the age of 28 daycare that is equal to 23.973 MPa. The highest tensile strength value contained in the concrete to the age of 28-day care is equal to 2,782Mpa.

Prestressed hollow core slabs (PHCSs) have commonly been applied to long-span structures, due to their excellent flexural capacity and deflection control performance. However, in quite a few cases, the web-shear strength at member ends subjected to high shear forces is insufficient, because the web of the PHCS is very thin, making it difficult to place shear reinforcement, and the prestress is not fully effective in transfer length regions. Accordingly, a variety of shear strengthening methods have been proposed to improve the web-shear strength of PHCS ends. In this study, experimental research was conducted to investigate the shear resistance mechanism of PHCS strengthened by core-filling method, which has been most widely used in the construction field. The number of filled cores and the shear reinforcement ratio were set as the main test variables, and the patterns and angles of shear cracks that occurred in the PHCS units and filled cores, respectively, and the strain behavior of the shear reinforcement, were measured and analyzed in detail. This study also analyzed the test results based on the current design codes, and proposed a modified shear strength equation that can be applied to the core-filled PHCS.

This paper provides a method to predict the strength of interior reinforced concrete beam-column joints that fail in shear before the plastic hinges occur at both ends of the adjacent beams. The proposed method takes into account the axial force ratio, the compressive strength of concrete, and the shear strength deterioration in the beam-column joints. In order to verify the shear strength of the proposed method, the behaviors of 38 interior beam-column joints were compared. Comparisons between the observed and calculated shear strengths of the tested beam-column assembles, showed reasonable agreement.
