In this study, the structural behavior of reinforced concrete flat plates shear reinforced with vertical grids made of a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) was experimentally evaluated. To examine the shear strength, experiments were performed on nine concrete slabs with different amounts and spacings of shear reinforcement. The test results indicated that the shear strength increased as the amount of shear reinforcement increased and as the spacing of the shear reinforcement decreased. The GFRP shear reinforcement changed the cracks and failure mode of the specimens from a brittle punching to flexure one. In addition, the experimental results are compared with a shear strength equation provided by different concrete design codes. This comparison demonstrates that all of the equations underestimate the shear strength of reinforced concrete flat plates shear reinforced with GFRP vertical grids. The shear strength of the equation by BS 8110 is able to calculate the punching shear strength reasonably for a concrete flat plate shear reinforced with GFRP vertical grids.

Loading Test

In the presented paper, the impacts of steel fiber use and tensile reinforcement ratio on shear behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) beams were investigated from the point of different tensile reinforcement ratios. In the scope of the experimental program, a total of eight beams consisting of four reinforcement ratios representing low to high ratios ranged from 0.8% to 2.2% were casted without shear reinforcement and subjected to the four-point loading test. While half of the test beams included 30 mm end-hooked steel fibers (SF-UHPC) with 2.0 vol%, the remaining beams were produced without the fiber to show possible effectiveness of the fiber use. The shear performances were discussed in terms of the load—deflection response, cracking pattern and failure mode, first cracking load and ultimate shear strength. In this sense, all the non-fiber beams were failed by shear with a dramatic load drop, regardless of the tensile reinforcement amount, before the yielding of reinforcement and they produced no deflection capability. The test results showed that while the inclusion of steel fibers to the UHPC mixture with low reinforcement ratios changed the failure mode from the shear to flexure, it significantly enhanced the ultimate shear strength in the case of higher reinforcement ratio through the SF-UHPC’ superior mechanical properties and fibers’ crack-bridging ability.

Theoretical Results

Punching strength is a critical point in the design of flat slabs and due to the lack of a theoretical method capable of explaining this phenomenon, empirical formulations presented by codes of practice are still the most used method to check the bearing capacity of slab-column connections. This paper discusses relevant aspects of the development of flat slabs, the factors that influence the punching resistance of slabs without shear reinforcement and makes comparisons between the experimental results organized in a database with 74 slabs carefully selected with theoretical results using the recommendations of ACI 318, EUROCODE 2 and NBR 6118 and also through the Critical Shear Crack Theory, presented by Muttoni (2008) and incorporated the new fib Model Code (2010).

The Difference

When the various reinforced concrete structures are designed according to EC2 and STR, the difference of calculation results, is quite significant. In this article the calculations of shear strength of bending reinforced concrete elements are investigated according to these standards. The comparison of such calculations is also significant in the sense that the shear strength calculations are carried out according to different principles. The STR regulations are based on work of the shear reinforcement crossing the oblique section and the compressed concrete at the end of the section. In this case, at the supporting zone, the external bending moment and shear force should be in equilibrium with the internal forces in reinforcement and compressed concrete, i.e., the cross section must be checked not only from the external shear force, but also from bending moment. In EC2 standard, the shear strengths are calculated according to simplified truss model, which consists of the tension shear reinforcement bars and compressed concrete struts. The bending moment is not estimated. After calculation analysis of these two methods the relationships between shear strength and various element parameters are presented. The elements reinforced with stirrups and bends are investigated additionally because in EC2 this case is not presented. According to EC2 the simplified truss model solution depends on the compression strut angle value θ, which is limited in certain interval. Since the component of tension reinforcement bar directly depends on the angle θ and the component of compression strut depends on it conversely, then exists some value θ when the both components are equal. So the angle θ can be found when such two components will be equated. However, such calculation of angle θ became complicated if the load is uniform, because then the components of tension bar are estimated not in support cross section but in cross section that are displaced by distance d. So, the cube equation should be solved. For simplification of such solution the graphical method to find out the angle θ and the shear strength are presented. In these graphics the intersection point of two components (shear reinforcement and concrete) curves describes the shear strength of element.
