Void slab systems with polystyrene form and precast concrete deck have been used to reduce the construction period and the self-weight of the slab. This paper presents experimental works on the shear of the void slabs. Four specimens were tested. The main parameters of experiments were the type of polystyrene forms and the thickness of slab. Shear performances of void slabs were evaluated on the basis of failure patterns, load-displacement curves, and ultimate shear strengths. Based on the test results, the unidirectional void slabs had the best shear resistance performance when they used PF2 type of polystyrene forms. For all specimens that failed due to shear, ultimate shear strength was 52% or higher than nominal shear strength by ACI318-08. This indicates that void slabs have a sufficient shear performance in the truss bar arrangement direction

Where the self weight of the overall slab needs to be considered, the quantity of in-situ concrete required can be reduced by the introduction of polystyrene void forms supplied and fixed to the precast panel during manufacture. In this study, new I-slab system with polystyrene form and precast concrete deck is proposed to reduce the construction period and the self weight of the slab. This paper presents experimental works on the bending and shear of the I-slabs. Five specimens were tested. The main parameters of experiments were the hole diameter of polystyrene form and the thickness of slab. Structural performance of I-slab was evaluated on the basis of failure mode, load-displacement curve, and ultimate strengths. Based on the test results, the critical punching shear sections were changed as test variables, so the punching shear strengths were very different. Test results indicated that the developed I-slab were very effective to increase the strength because of self weight reduction.

In this study, experiments and numerical analyses were carried out to examine the flexural and shear performance of a double composite wall (DCW) manufactured using a precast concrete (PC) method. One flexural specimen and three shear specimens were fabricated, and the effect of the bolts used for the assembly of the PC panels on the shear strength of the DCW was investigated. The failure mode, flexural and shear behavior, and composite behavior of the PC panel and cast-in-place (CIP) concrete were analyzed in detail, and the behavioral characteristics of the DCW were clearly identified by comparing the results of tests with those obtained from a non-linear flexural analysis and finite element analysis. Based on the test and analysis results, this study proposed a practical equation for reasonably estimating the shear strength of a DCW section composed of PC, CIP concrete, and bolts utilizing the current code equations.

This paper proposes a novel U-shaped steel-encased concrete composite beam-girder joint (referred to herein as the novel composite beam-girder joint), in which the U-shaped beams at two sides (L and R) are inserted into a shaped sleeve, and the U-shaped girder and two U-shaped beams are connected by the shaped sleeve through welding. Compared with the traditional beam-girder joints, the novel composite beam-girder joints take advantage of easy construction, light weight, and short construction period. The failure patterns, load-strain and load-deflection curves, and strain distributions of the novel composite beam-girder joints were investigated through the static loading tests on two full-scale specimens, denoted as GBJ1 and GBJ2. The two specimens were varied in beam section reinforcements. Specimen GBJ2 was equipped with 3Ф16 additional bars in the U-shaped beams based on Specimen GBJ1. Test results show that the two specimens failed as the through arc cracks developed at the concrete slab interfaces. The additional bars can increase the bearing capacity slightly but will also increase the stress concentration on the bottom flange of the shaped sleeve, leading to the decrease of ductility for Specimen GBJ2. The slab effect is considered in the test and can thus reflect the actual stress state of the beam-girder joints well. This study can provide a reference for the design and application of beam-girder joints.

This paper discusses the experimental results on the shear behavior of concrete wide beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates as shear reinforcement. In order to examine the shear performance, a total of six concrete wide beams were manufactured and tested. All the specimens were designed to have the same number of legs of shear reinforcement. The transverse spacing of shear reinforcement was considered as a variable to investigate the influence of transverse spacing of concrete wide beams. From the test results, it is observed that the shear strength increased when transverse spacing of the shear reinforcement decreased. In addition, an equation is proposed to predict the shear strength of concrete wide beams in order to consider the influence of transverse spacing of the shear reinforcement. The equation is based on the test results and modified ACI 318–14. It is verified that the proposed equation is considered to be better than ACI 318–14.

Half precast concrete slabs with inverted multi-ribs (Joint Advanced Slab, JAS), which enhance composite performance between slabs by introducing shear keys at connections between the slabs and improve structural performance by placing prestressing tendons and truss-type shear reinforcements, have recently been developed and applied in many construction fields. In this study, flexural and shear tests were performed to verify the structural performance of JAS members. Towards this end, two flexural specimens and four shear specimens were fabricated, and the presence of cast-in-place concrete and the location of the critical section were set as the main test variables. In addition, the flexural and shear performance of the JAS was quantitatively evaluated using a non-linear flexural analysis model and current structural design codes. Evaluation results confirmed that the flexural behavior of the JAS was almost similar to the behavior simulated through the non-linear flexural analysis model, and the shear performance of the JAS can also be estimated appropriately by using the shear strength equations presented in the current design codes. For the JAS with cast-in-place concrete, however, the shear strength estimation results differed significantly depending on the way that the shear contributions of the precast concrete unit and cast-in-place concrete were calculated. Based on the analysis results, this study proposed a design method that can reasonably estimate the shear strength of the composite JAS.

Scrap tires filled with granular materials can be used for geotechnical engineering. However, when subjected to earthquakes and other conditions, shear failure occurs between the tires. In this paper, eight groups of tire-sand composite columns are prepared and tested under shear strength tests. Different vertical forces, sand densities, and loading modes are considered to investigate the shear performance. The failure patterns, load-displacement curves, and stress-strain curves are observed. The results show that the shear failure of composite undergoes three typical stages: overall flexural lateral displacement, transverse compression, and relative interfacial slip. Under monotonic loading, the restriction of the transverse deformation of the composite column is enhanced with increasing vertical force. The overall antidisturbance ability of the composite is enhanced with increasing sand density. The cyclic loading mode can improve the lateral stiffness of the tire-sand composite. The relative motion between the tire-sand interfaces has two forms: elastic creep and interface sliding. Under the hoop effect of the tire, the pores between the particles produce a pseudocohesive force, which causes the shear strength of the tire-sand composite to be higher than that of common sand. A formula is obtained to describe the stress-strain variations in the composite under different vertical forces.

An investigation into the preparation of Data Sheets based on the work of Kuhn and Griffith at the N.A.C.A., revealed that it might be possible to present non-dimensional curves for the ultimate shear strength of aluminium alloy webs in incomplete diagonal tension, in a form similar to that of Structures Data Sheet 02.03.13, which are independent of material specifications. The values of “basic allowable shear stress” are founded on flat plate details from early experimental work and on estimated values for fully developed diagonal tension. Later work by Ross Levin provided further test results extending the range of diagonal tension developed, and the application of these to thick webs has been confirmed.
