Punching shear behavior of concrete flat plate slab reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer rods

摘要

Flat plate slab system is widely adopted by engineers as it provides many advantages . The system can reduce the height of the building, provide more flexible spatial planning due to no beams present, and further reduce the material cost. However, the main problem in practice is the brittle failure of flat plate slab under punching shear. In this paper, the punching shear behavior has been studied and an experimental work using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods as shear reinforcement has been conducted in flat plate slab system. This exploratory research is to study the behavior of the flat plate slab with CFRP-rods reinforced in punching shear zone under constant gravity load and lateral displacements in a reversed cyclic manner. Three specimens of interior column-slab connection specimens were tested including one standard specimen without any shear reinforcement, the second one reinforced with CFRP-rods and the third one reinforced with stud rails as the reference to the second one. The slabs were 3000 mm long x 2800 mm wide x 150 mm deep, and were simply supported at four corners. Punching shear failure occurred for the standard specimens at a lateral drift-ratio, lateral drift divided by the length of vertical member, of approximately 5%. The specimen reinforced by CFRP-rods had significant flexural yielding and sustained deformations up to a drift ratio of approximately 9% without significant losses of strength, and punching shear was not observed in this specimen. The displacements increased up to 1.79 times larger than that of the standard specimen. And this specimen showed 42% superior ductile performance than the standard specimen and even the same capability with the stud-rail reinforced specimen. The results of the experiment indicate that CFRP-rods using in the flat slab has a better foreground.
