Experimental study of shear transfer in slim floor systems using precast concrete hollow core slabs and steel beam with web circular opening

Estudo experimental da transferência de forças de cisalhamento em pisos mistos de pequena altura com lajes pré-fabricadas de concreto e viga em aço com abertura circular na alma

Abstract

Steel-concrete slim flooring system using precast concrete hollow core slabs and steel beam with web openings is an innovative construction system designed to combine the high bending resistance of both precast prestressed hollow core slabs and steel beam with web openings. This system can provide floor systems with a minimum constructional depth in comparison with ordinary composite floors. The aim of this study was to evaluate in an exploratory way the shear transferring mechanism between the steel beam with circular web opening and the precast hollow-concrete slab. The shear connection is formed by in-situ concrete passes through the web openings and infill the voids of the precast slabs. One push-out test was conducted to investigate the shear transferring mechanism of shear connection and the experimental results were compared to analytical methods. The shear resistance of the shear connection was predicted with good accurate by analytical methods.
