An Experimental Study on the Flexural Behavior of One-Way Concrete Slabs Using the Restorative Mortar and Crimped Wire Mesh

Hollow core concrete slabs have many advantages over the conventional solid concrete slabs. The flexural behavior of this type of slabs have not been investigated in detail in the past. The study here addressed this issue by conducting experimental study of four different hollow core concrete slabs along with a solid concrete slab as a control specimen. The load deflection curves were obtained along with the failure load and deflection at the first crack. The effectiveness of the conventional flexural capacity equation in predicting the capacity of hollow core slabs was evaluated. The results from the experimental study were also utilized to do a comparative study among the specimens studied. The study concluded that the conventional flexural strength equation can be used for hollow core slabs too and they have better performance than solid concrete slabs both in terms of load - deflection behavior and serviceability.

Composite Slabs

Through the experiments of four concrete composite slabs under static loading to compare their flexural properties (deflection, bearing capacity, failure mode), this paper discusses the influence of composite slabs flexural behavior on different length of additional bars and sectional effective height. The results showed that they will improve the bearing capacity effectively by reasonably increasing the sectional effective height and controlling the length of additional bars.
