In Fire

Reinforced concrete slabs are elements in direct contact with superimposed loads, having high surface area and small thickness. Such a condition makes slabs highly vulnerable to fire conditions. Fire results in exaggerated deformations in reinforced concrete slabs, as a result of material deterioration and thermal induced stresses. The main objective of this paper is to deeply investigate how circular R.C. slabs, of different configurations, behave in fire condition. That objective has been achieved through finite element modelling. Thermal-structural finite element models have been prepared, using "Ansys". Finite element models used solid elements to model both thermal and structural slab behaviour. Structural loads had been applied, representing slab operational loads, then thermal loads were applied in accordance with ISO 843 fire curve. Outputs in the form of deflection profile and edge rotation have been extracted out of the models to present slab deformations. A parametric study has been conducted to figure out the significance of various parameters such as; slab depth, slenderness ratio, load ratio, and opening size; regarding slab deformations. It was found that deformational behaviour differs significantly for slabs of thickness equal or below 100 mm, than slabs of thickness equal or above 200 mm. On the other hand considerable changes in slabs behaviour take place after 30 minutes of fire exposure for slabs of thickness equals or below 100 mm, while such changes delay till 60 minutes for slabs of thickness equals or above 200 mm.

This paper presents a numerical analysis using ANSYS finite element program to simulate the reinforced concrete slabs with spherical voids when subjected to five point load. Six slabs with length 1.0m, width 1.0m, height (0.1m and 0.125m) and simply supported were modeled. Nonlinear materials behavior, as it relates to steel reinforcing bars and plain concrete, and linear behavior for steel plate is simulated using appropriate constitutive models. The results showed that the general behavior of the finite element models represented by the load-deflection curves at mid-span, ultimate load, load-maximum concrete compressive strain curve, and crack patterns show good agreement with the test data from the experimental test. The finite element models represented by this work can be used to carry out parametric study for the BubbleDeck slab specimens

Reinforced Concrete Slabs

The results of researches on finite-element models of stress-strain state of flat reinforced concrete slabs of beamless frame under punching by columns of square and rectangular cross-section are presented. The purpose of the study was to develop a technique for testing samples plates for punching in the presence of bending moments in a column. The results of the study of deflections of reinforced concrete slabs, the distribution of bending moments in the punching zone of the plate under various loading schemes are presented. Variable parameter was the ratio of the sides of the column cross-section. Comparative analysis of studies results on finite element models has made it possible to choose the optimal variant of applying the load to the test samples, depending on the aspect ratio of rectangular section of column. Results of the conducted research will allow simulating the stress-strain state in the punching zone of natural reinforced concrete slabs of monolithic beamless frame during the test of samples.
