A non-linear finite element model (FEM) was constructed using a three-dimensional software (ATENA-3D) to investigate the effect of strengthening on the behavior of prestressed hollow-core (PHC) slabs with or without openings. The slabs were strengthened using near surface mounted (NSM)-carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips. The constructed model was validated against experimental results that were previously reported by the authors. The validated FEM was then used to conduct an extensive parametric study to examine the influence of prestressing reinforcement ratio, compressive strength of concrete and strengthening reinforcement ratio on the behavior of such slabs. The FEM results showed good agreement with the experimental results where it captured the cracking, yielding, and ultimate loads as well as the mid-span deflection with a reasonable accuracy. Also, an overall enhancement in the structural performance of these slabs was achieved with an increase in prestressing reinforcement ratio, compressive strength of concrete, external reinforcement ratio. The presence of openings with different dimensions along the flexural or shear spans reduced significantly the capacity of the PHC slabs. However, strengthening these slabs with 2 and 4 (64 and $128mm^2$ that represent reinforcement ratios of 0.046 and 0.092%) CFRP strips was successful in restoring the original strength of the slab and enhancing post-cracking stiffness and load carrying capacity.

Steel-concrete composite structures and precast concrete elements have a common prefabrication process and allow fast construction. The use of hollow-core slabs associated with composite floors can be advantageous. However, there are few studies on the subject, impeding the application of such systems. In this paper, a numerical model representing the considered system using the FE (finite element)-based software DIANA is developed. The results of an experimental test were also presented in Souza (2016) and were used to validate the model. Comparisons between the numerical and test results were performed in terms of the load versus displacement, load versus slip, and load versus strain curves, showing satisfactory agreement. In addition, a wide parametric study was performed, evaluating the influence of several parameters on the behaviour of the composite system: The strength of the steel beam, thickness of the web, thickness and width of the bottom flange of the steel beam and concrete cover thickness on top of the beam. The results indicated a great influence of the steel strength and the thickness of the bottom flange of the steel beam on the capacity of the composite floor. The remaining parameters had limited influences on the results.

The paper presents results of parametric studies, and an overall approach for the design of a modular bridge system which incorporates a steel-reinforcement free concrete slab cast on top of carbon FRP stiffened deck panels which act as both structural formwork and flexural reinforcement, spanning between hollow box type FRP girders. Results of the parametric studies are highlighted to elucidate important relationships between critical configurational parameters and empirical equations based on numerical studies are presented. Results are discussed at the level of the individual deck and girder components, and as a slab-on-girder bridge system. An overall design methodology for the components and bridge system including critical performance checks is also presented.

The study presented experimental and numerical investigation on the seismic performance of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) L-shaped column- reinforced concrete (RC) beam joints. Various parameters described as steel configuration form, axial compressive ratio, loading angle, and the existence of slab were examined through 4 planar joints and 7 spatial joints. The characteristics of the load-displacement response included the bearing capacity, ductility, story drift ratio, energy-dissipating capacity, and stiffness degradation were analyzed. The results showed that shear failure and flexural failure in the beam tip were observed for planar joints and spatial joint, respectively. And RC joint with slab failed with the plastic hinge in the slab and bottom of the beam. The results indicated that hysteretic curves of spatial joints with solid-web steel were plumper than those with hollow-web specimens. The capacity of planar joints was higher than that of space joints, while the opposite was true for energy-dissipation capacity and ductility. The high compression ratio contributed to the increase in capacity and initial stiffness of the joint. The elastic and elastic-plastic story deformation capacity of L-shaped column frame joints satisfied the code requirement. A design formula of joint shear resistance based on the superposition theory and equilibrium plasticity truss model was proposed for engineering application.

Commonly in steel frames, steel beam and concrete slab are connected together by shear keys to work as a unit member which is called composite beam. When a composite beam is subjected to positive bending, flexural strength and stiffness of the beam can be increased due to "composite action". At the same time despite these advantages, composite action increases the strain at the beam bottom flange and it might affect beam plastic rotation capacity. This paper presents results of study on the rotation capacity of composite beam connected to Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) column in the steel moment resisting frame buildings. Due to out-of-plane deformation of column flange, moment transfer efficiency of web connection is reduced and this results in reduction of beam plastic rotation capacity. In order to investigate the effects of width-to-thickness ratio (B/t) of RHS column on the rotation capacity of composite beam, cyclic loading tests were conducted on three full scale beam-to-column subassemblies. Detailed study on the different steel beam damages and concrete slab damages are presented. Experimental data showed the importance of this parameter of RHS column on the seismic behavior of composite beams. It is found that occurrence of severe concrete bearing crush at the face of RHS column of specimen with smaller width-to-thickness ratio resulted in considerable reduction on the rate of strain increase in the bottom flange. This behavior resulted in considerable improvement of rotation capacity of this specimen compared with composite and even bare steel beam connected to the RHS column with larger width-to-thickness ratio.

본 연구는 속빈 PC 슬래브와 채널을 사용한 매입형 합성보의 휨거동에 관한 것이다. 철골보와 PC슬래브의 경계면에 발생하는 전단력은 채널에 의해서 전달된다. 철골보의 춤에 따라서 총 3개의 실대형 실험체를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였으며 기존에 수행된 전단접합 방식과 비교검토를 수행하였다. 채널 용접형 매입형 합성보의 실험결과, 별도의 전단연결재를 설치하지 않아도 자체가 가지고 있는 기계적․화학적 부착응력으로 인해 완전합성보에 가까운 거동을 나타내었다. 또한, 기존의 합성보의 거동과 같이 탄성구간, 항복구간, 매우 큰 연성, 휨파괴모드(소성힌지), 경계면에서의 매우 낮은 상대슬립 및 연성적인 파괴거동을 나타내었다. 따라서 제안된 전단연결 방식의 경우, 실제 건물에 적용시 규준에서 요구하는 구조적 성능을 만족할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

건물의 자중을 저감시킴으로서 시공성을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 중공 PC슬래브에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이와 같은 측면에서, 최근 새로운 형태의 부분 PC 슬래브 시스템인 Tripple Ribs Slab (TRS)가 개발되었다. TRS부재는 3개의 리브와 스트랜드로 프리스트레싱된 바닥구조로 구성되어 있다. TRS 바닥구조는 웨브와 웨브 사이에 스티로폼(styrofoam)을 채운 뒤 토핑 콘크리트를 타설함으로서 슬래브 시스템을 구축한다. 본 연구에서는 TRS의 휨성능을 검토하기 위해 휨실험을 진행하였다. Full scale로 제작된 5개의 실험체를 제작한 뒤 휨파괴되도록 단순지지조건으로 실험하였으며 실험결과 강도를 기준 식들과 비교하였다. 실험에서의 변수는 부재의 깊이와 토핑 또는 슬립포밍시 형성되는 추가의 콘크리트 턱의 유무이다. 또한 실험체들에 대하여 비선형 단면해석을 실시하였으며 그 결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 실험으로부터, TRS는 설계하중을 충분히 지지할 수 있는 휨성능과 연성능력을 가지고 있으며 실험체의 강도는 기준 식으로 적절하게 예측될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 추가의 턱은 실험체의 강도에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며 이에 따라 이들 턱은 굳이 추가의 작업을 통하여 제거할 필요는 없는 것으로 사료된다. 비선형 단면해석을 통하여 TRS의 휨거동을 보다 정확하게 예측하기 위해서는 슬립포밍에 의한 콘크리트의 취성적인 특성을 해석에서 고려할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

A prefabricated composite hollow slab with perforated I-beams was suggested for the replacement of deteriorated concrete decks or the construction of new composite bridges with long-span slabs. Composite slabs with embedded I-beams have considerably higher stiffness and strength. For the application of prefabricated composite slabs to bridges, joints between slabs should satisfy the requirements of the ultimate limit state and the serviceability limit state. In this paper, three types of the detail for loop joints were selected and their structural performance in terms of strength and crack control was investigated through static tests on continuous composite slabs. A main parameter was the detail of the joint, such as an ordinary loop joint and loop joint with additional reinforcements. Even though there was no connection of the steel beams at the joints, the loop joints showed good performance in ultimate strength. In terms of crack control, the loop joint with additional reinforcements showed better performance. In ultimate limit state, the continuous composite slabs showed good moment redistribution and ductility.

This paper discusses the results and observations from a large-scale fire test conducted on a slim floor system, comprising asymmetric beams, rectangular hollow section beams and a composite floor slab. The structure was subjected to a fire where the fire load (combustible material) was higher that that found in typical office buildings and the ventilation area was artificially controlled during the test. Although the fire behaviour was not realistic it was designed to follow as closely as possible the time-temperature response used in standard fire tests, which are used to assess individual structural members and forms the bases of current fire design methods. The presented test results are limited, due to the malfunction of the instrumentation measuring the atmosphere and member temperatures. The lack of test data hinders the presentation of definitive conclusions. However, the available data, together with observations from the test, provides for the first time a useful insight into the behaviour of the slim floor system in its entirety. Analysis of the test results show that the behaviour of the beam-to-column connections had a significant impact on the overall structural response of the system, particularly when the end-plate of one of the connections fractured, during the fire.
