The significance of negative bending moments in the seismic performance of hollow-core flooringWoods, Lisa Joy January 2008 (has links)
Hollow-core flooring units are designed as simply supported members. However, frequently in construction, continuity is established between the units and supporting structure by the addition of insitu topping concrete and steel reinforcement. This change in structural form can result in negative bending moments and axial forces being induced in the floor by seismic and other structural actions. Significant negative moments are induced by load combinations that include the effects of seismic forces due to vertical ground motion. The focus of this research was two failure mechanisms possible under these loading conditions, a flexural failure and a shear failure. Both failure mechanisms were investigated analytically and experimentally.
A brittle flexural failure was observed experimentally in a sub assembly test that contained starter bars and mesh reinforcement in the insitu topping concrete. The failure occurred at loads lower than those predicted using standard flexural theory. It appears that, due to the prestressing and low reinforcement ratio of the topping concrete, the assumption that plane sections remain plane is not appropriate for this situation. It is proposed that a strain concentration factor be introduced to account for the effects of tension stiffening. This factor improves the correlation between observed and predicted flexural strength.
The second failure mode investigated was a flexure shear failure in a negative moment zone. Flexural cracks reduce the shear strength of a reinforced concrete member. Analytical predictions suggest that some hollow-core floor details could be prone to this type of brittle failure. A flexure shear failure was not observed experimentally; however, this does not eliminate the possibility of this failure mode.
A summary of other failure mechanisms possible in hollow-core flooring is also presented. All failure modes should to be considered as part of establishing a hierarchy of failure in the design or retrofit of hollow-core floors.

Previous issue date: 2014-02-25 / In this work flexure shear and tension shear are studied. It is presented a literature review with emphasis on the major normative recommendations about the shear strength in elements without shear reinforcement. Concerning flexure shear capacity considerations are made about the tensile strength of high strength concrete by analysis of 39 experiments. This samples were collected in the literature and are presented herein. Furthermore, it is proposed to consider the variable influence of prestressing on the shear strength. With respect to tension shear, it is proposed the coefficient b, which seeks to improve the traditional models considering indirectly the influence of shear stresses in transmission length. 49 international experiments are analyzed to validate this coefficient and it is concluded that the modified models show significant improvements. Yet developed an experimental program were tested 15 hollow core slabs varying the distance between the edge of the slab and its nearest support. All failures were by tension shear. The transmission length established by NBR14861 was considered adequate for the tested slabs by correlation with tension shear test results. / Os mecanismos condicionantes à ruptura por força cortante em lajes alveolares são estudados: flexo-cortante e tração diagonal. Apresenta-se a revisão bibliográfica com ênfase nas recomendações dos principais códigos normativos acerca da resistência à força cortante em elementos sem armadura transversal. Quanto à flexo-cortante, considerações são feitas sobre a resistência à tração de concretos de alta resistência pela análise de 39 experimentos coletados na literatura e apresentados neste trabalho. Além disso, propõe-se a consideração da influência variável da protensão na resistência a força cortante. No tocante a tração diagonal, propõe-se o coeficiente b, que busca melhorar os modelos de cálculo tradicionais considerando de forma indireta a influência dos esforços cisalhantes devido à introdução da protensão na laje alveolar. São analisados 49 experimentos internacionais para a validação deste coeficiente e conclui-se que os modelos de cálculo modificados por este coeficiente apresentam melhoras significativas. Desenvolveu-se ainda um programa experimental em que foram ensaiadas 15 lajes alveolares variando a distância entre a extremidade da laje e seu apoio mais próximo. Todas as rupturas foram pelo mecanismo de tração diagonal. O comprimento de transferência de protensão estabelecido pela NBR14861 foi considerado adequado para as lajes ensaiadas pela correlação com os resultados dos ensaios de ruptura por força cortante.
