Experimental Study on Flexural Behaviour of Lightweight Multi-Ribbed Composite Slabs

To develop new slabs with light weight and high rigidity as well as meet the requirements of use and facilitate construction, a large-span multi-ribbed composite slab (R-CS) with filled lightweight blocks is proposed based on systematic research. Static tests of the bending behaviour of the four pie...

description To develop new slabs with light weight and high rigidity as well as meet the requirements of use and facilitate construction, a large-span multi-ribbed composite slab (R-CS) with filled lightweight blocks is proposed based on systematic research. Static tests of the bending behaviour of the four pieces of the R-CS specimens and one ordinary concrete cast-in-place slab were carried out. The fracture distribution, bearing capacity, deflection, and load-strain curves of the tensile steel bars were analysed. The difference in the bending behaviour between the R-CS specimens and the cast-in-place slab and the influence of different structural forms on the bending behaviour of the R-CS samples were studied. By calculating the bearing capacity of the fully composite state, their composite performance was evaluated. The research shows that the bending failure process of the R-CS specimens is similar to that of the cast-in-place slab and the crack and deflection development as well as ductility are relatively good. The measured bearing capacity of the specimen can reach more than 70% of the theoretical calculation strength under the fully composite state. The composite performance is satisfactory.
