The Moment

Reinforced concrete slab has the property of two-way bending. In this paper, four test specimens of reinforced concrete slabs were set up to be determined the strain and deflection at corresponding position. The results show that the bending of reinforced concrete slab does have two-way nature and the moment in one direction will cause the deformation of the other orthogonal direction, which can be reflected by the changes of curvature. At last, the conclusions are given: The calculation formula, which was derived from deflection calculation of beams and now is applied to the slabs, will result in no small calculation errors. The moment on one direction will cause the deformation of the other orthogonal direction and its size is related to the poisson’s ratio of the compressed concrete. And the size also is related to the strength grade of concrete and the reinforcement ratio, and so on. And the idea is further pointed out that it also can be used to solve the deflection calculation of concrete two-way slab.

Reinforced Concrete Slabs

The "flat slab" is a reinforced concrete slab bolstered, by a number of columns. Punching, shear is a category for collapse for reinforced concrete slabs exposed to great confined forces. In "flat slab" constructions the shear failure happens, at column bolster joints. To avoid this, collapse two methods are used, first method is increasing the column dimensions and, the other is to use drop panel if the first method leads to uneconomical, design. Two examples are used to find the effect, of column dimensions, increase on the punching shear failure of "flat slab". The first example, is a "flat slab" of span (5 by 5) m and the other is of span (6 by 6) m. The column which examined is the interior, edge and corner columns, and the interior column is the most dangerous case. It is concluded that, the increase of column dimensions are lead to avoid of punching shear failure in "flat slab" and the drop panel is enlarge the area of the critical shear perimeter and this avoiding punching shear failure.

The Moment

Slabs with continuous drop panels between column lines facilitate formwork, make long spans possible in addition to increase punching shear resistance around supports and provide unobstructed spans with minimum structural floor depth resulting in lower floor-to-floor heights. The moment distribution in such slabs is different from that in conventional flat plates or slabs with drop panels systems. Dimensioning according to the current provisions in CSA A23.3-94 is problematic because the continuous drop panels are subject to moments exceeding the minimum values allowed by the Code for conventional slab systems. This analytical study presents the moment distribution in slabs with continuous drop panels in an attempt to provide more realistic transverse moment distribution factors.Key words: reinforced concrete, slab systems, slab design, drop panel, moment distribution.

Nowadays finite element software is used for the design and analysis of reinforced concrete slabs. This paper intends to have a critical review based on a comparison study between the three design methods and to estimate the amount of reinforcement to be provided in each case. The three methods discussed are; the three-layer sandwich model (IRC 112-2011), Wood Armer method (EN1992-1-1:2004) and the conventional design method as per IS 456-2000. In the recently revised code for bridges IRC 112-2011, there is a recommendation to adopt three-layer sandwich model for the design of reinforced concrete slab. In this paper, a critical review of this method is done, and it is used for slabs subjected to uniformly distributed load. This method is illustrated by considering the design of rectangular slab subjected to uniformly distributed load. The results of this method are compared with the results obtained using Wood Armer method and using the moment coefficients suggested in IS 456-2000.

The Impact

Many research studies have been conducted on the effect of impact loading on structures, and design procedures were proposed for reinforced concrete (RC) slabs; however the availability of these studies and procedures are limited for prestressed slabs. The proposed research will examine, using numerical analysis, the impact of rock fall on prestressed concrete slabs with equivalent moment capacity reinforced concrete slabs. It is expected that prestressed concrete slabs will have different behavior to resist impact loading compared with traditional reinforced concrete slabs. The thickness of the prestressed concrete slab will be 25cm whereas that of the reinforced concrete slab will be 30cm. The impact loading consists of 500Kg drop weight. The drop height will be 10m, 15m and 20m.The structural analysis is performed using a Finite Element program "ABAQUS". A comparison will be done between both slab types in terms of failure mode, damage, and deflection. It has been found that both slabs failed in punching. However, the RC slab performed better than the prestressed concrete slab with respect to the value of the deflection at mid-span, while both showed punching shear mode of failure.

The Impact

Loads resulting from activities such as rock fall, heavy drop weights (for e.g. equipment's, heavy machines during installation), missile and aircraft interaction with slabs may results in loading intensity which have higher magnitude as compared to static loading. Based on the velocity of the impacting object at the time of contact, these activities may result in impact loading. Therefore, slabs designed should provide resistance to these accidental loading during their entire operational life. In this study, a dynamic non-linear finite element analyses were conducted to investigate the behavior of the reinforced concrete slabs subjected to high-mass low-velocity impacts. For this purpose, initially an already published impact test results were used to validate the numerical predictions. Following validation, a study was conducted to investigate the influence of the impact velocity on the behavior of the reinforced concrete slab. Based on the numerical investigation, it was found that the velocity of the impacting object has a significant influence on the behavior exhibited by slab under impact loading. Furthermore, it was also found that the behavior of slab under impact is both local and global. Local behavior is associated with the damage caused at the contact area of the slab and the impactor, whereas global behavior refers to the overall deformation of the slab when stress waves move away from the impact zone and travel towards the supports.

Cracking Pattern

Reinforced concrete is perhaps the most widely used building material in the world. However, the materials used for reinforcement of concrete i.e. steel is quite expensive and scarcely available in the developing world. As a result, bamboo is considered to be a cheaper replacement with high tensile strength. This research investigated the structural behaviour of bamboo-reinforced concrete slabs used for footplate foundation subjected to concentrated load. For this purpose, four different reinforced concrete slab panels were developed and analyzed. The influence of replacing steel with bamboo for the reinforcement of concrete slabs on their structural behaviour was assessed by determining the load-deflection characteristics, the ultimate load, the stiffness, the ductility, the cracking pattern, and the energy absorption capacity. The results showed that in comparison to steel reinforced concrete slabs, the strength of 82% can be acquired by the bamboo reinforced slabs. Furthermore, ductility demonstrated by the two types of specimens was almost equivalent i.e. up to 93%. Those indicated that the structural behaviour demonstrated by bamboo reinforced slabs is quite comparable to that of steel reinforced concrete slabs. Therefore, bamboo can prove to be a promising substitute for steel in concrete reinforcement. Future studies may further examine this opportunity.

The present experimental work investigates the applicability and performance of a new strengthening method for concrete slabs, intended to increase their punching resistance using combination layers of steel wire mesh with epoxy attached to the concrete slabs’ tension face. Six simply supported square reinforced concrete slab specimens were tested up to failure under a central concentrated load. The main parameters in the study are the concrete compressive strength (30 MPa and 65 MPa) and the configuration of a bundle externally fixed to the tension side of the tested slabs. The experimental results appeared to greatly enhance the performance of the specimens, as they were externally strengthenined under this new method. When compared to the control slabs, the punching load and stiffness of the strengthened slabs increased up to 28% and 21%, respectively.

Load Conditions

Eight large-scale reinforced concrete slab specimens were tested under combined thermal and mechanical load conditions. The specimens varied in the amount and orientation of the in-plane reinforcement provided. A three-phase loading regime was used to investigate thermal gradient effects at service and ultimate load conditions. The slabs experienced significant levels of stressing and cracking as a result of restrained thermal deformations. However, reductions in stiffness due to cracking and thermal creep caused rapid decays in the restraint forces developed. At ultimate load conditions, thermal load effects were minimal. Nonlinear finite element analysis procedures were used to investigate the theoretical response of the test slabs. Fairly accurate simulations of the specimens' behaviour were obtained. Important to achieving accurate results were the consideration of tension stiffening effects and out-of-plane shear behaviour.

Strengthening Technique

A total of four two-way reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with three methods were tested. The four test specimens were one unstrengthened reinforced concrete slab (control), one slab strengthened with CFRP strips, one slab strengthened with steel sheets, and one slab strengthened with an innovative method of applying CFRP strips and steel sheets combination bonding to the tension face of the slab. The test results show the CFRP-Steel combination strengthened technique is a rapid and effective strengthening technique for two-way RC slab. The increase in ultimate capacities of CFRP-Steel combination strengthened slab is 221.1% over the control slab, 84.4% over the CFRP-strengthened slab, and 45.2% over the steel-strengthened slab. In addition, the CFRP-Steel combination strengthened slab exhibited superior ductility than the CFRP-strengthened slab.

Set Up

Reinforced concrete slabs are frequently used in many engineering structures such as buildings and bridges. Damages in an engineering structure including reinforced concrete slab are classified as light, moderate, and severe cracks. A special treatment is required for every typical crack-damage to strengthen its structure. The reinforced concrete slab experiencing cracks reduce stiffness as well as its strength. An experimental program was set up to establish a relation between cracks and changes of a dynamic system characteristics of the slab through natural frequencies. The aim is to perform experimental modal analysis (EMA) as a non-destructive vibration testing method for diagnosing the structural integrity of the slab. For this purpose, two RC square slabs specimens of dimensions 1200mm x 1200mm x 40mm were used. As a first part of the project, a reinforced concrete slab was subjected to an increasing partially concentrated loads at the slab’s center to introduce cracks. After each incremental load steps (5, 10, 12kN) the slab was unloaded. Then, a free-free set-up for the slab was established by using the flexible elastic ropes (bungee cords). After the dynamic test of 5, 10 and 12kN loads, the slab was strengthened using external CFRP sheets (type TR30S). Next, experimental modal analysis was performed to establish a relation between cracks and changes in natural frequencies of the slab. The overall trend of frequency decrease after occurring damage that would be expected for all modes. However, it is not guaranteed all modes have same sensitivity to the applied load that inflicts severe cracks.
