3D Deformation

Research on the interaction between slabs and subsoil involves the field of materials engineering, concrete structures, and geotechnics. In the vast majority of cases, research focuses on only one of these areas, whereas for advanced study and computer simulations, detailed knowledge of the whole task is required. Among the new knowledge and information upon which this article focuses is the evaluation of subsoil stress using specialized pressure cells, along with detailed measurements of the deformation of a fiber-reinforced concrete slab. From a design point of view, this research is focused on the issue of the center of the cross section and the influence of eccentricity. Knowledge in this area is not yet comprehensively available for fiber-reinforced concrete slabs, where 2D deformation sections of the slab and 3D deformation surfaces of the slab are used in experiments. The experimental program includes a centrically and eccentrically loaded slab. These are structural elements that were tested on a specialized device. Both slabs had the same concrete recipe, with a dispersed reinforcement content of 25 kg/m3. The dimensions of the slab were 2000 × 2000 × 150 mm. Laboratory tests assessed compressive strength, the modulus of elasticity, splitting tensile strength, and bending tensile strength. Based on approximate data from the 3D deformation surfaces, an evaluation of the load-displacement diagrams for the center of the slab and for the center of eccentricity was performed. In conclusion, an overall evaluation and discussion of the results relies on experiments and the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced concrete.

Good Agreement

A computational analysis is presented to predict the ultimate and cracking shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs. Different models are suggested considering the effect of concrete compressive and tensile strength, amount of flexural reinforcements, yield strength of the reinforcement bars and steel fiber properties (volume percent, aspect ratio, and type of steel fibers). The predicted results are compared with the experimental data found in literature and found good agreement.
