The current design codes present an equivalent frame method (EFM) for the analysis and design of two-way slab structures. However, since the EFM was developed to be suitable for two-way slab structures subjected to gravity loads only, it brings many problems in its application to the analysis of two-way slabs to which gravity and lateral loads are applied simultaneously. Therefore, authors proposed the unified equivalent frame method (UEFM) that can analyze the structural behavior of flat-plate slab systems subjected to gravity and lateral loads in their previous studies. In this study, the UEFM was modified to be applicable to the two-way slab system with beams. In addition, the accuracy of the proposed UEFM was then examined by comparing it to the lateral behaviors of the two-way slab specimens.

The response mechanism of simply supported two-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs under fire was numerically studied from the view of stress redistribution using the finite element software ABAQUS. Results show that: (1) Simply supported two-way RC slabs undergo intense stress redistribution, and their responses show four stages, namely elastic, elastic-plastic, plastic and tensile membrane stages. There is no cracking in the fire area of the slabs until the tensile membrane stage. (2) The inverted arch effect and tensile membrane effect improve the fire resistance of the two-way slabs. When the deflection is L/20, the slab is in an inverted arch effect state, and the slab still has a good deflection reserve. The deformation rate of the slab in the tensile membrane stage is smaller than that in the elastic-plastic and plastic stages. (3) Fire resistance of square slabs is better than that of rectangular slabs. Besides, increasing the reinforcement ratio or slab thickness improves the fire resistance of the slabs. However, an increase of cover thickness has little effect on the fire resistance of two-way slabs. (4) Compared with one-way slabs, the time for two-way slabs to enter the plastic and tensile cracking stage is postponed, and the deformation rate in the plastic and tensile cracking stage is also slowed down. (5) The simply supported two-way RC slabs can satisfy with the requirements of a class I fire resistance rating of 90 min without additional fire protection.

최근 국내에서는 고층 벽식 아파트 건설 시, 하부 주차공간과 공용공간 확보를 위하여 RC 전이슬래브 시스템을 사용하는 경우가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 두께가 얇은 RC 무량판 슬래브를 위해 개발된 설계방법 및 구조성능평가 방법을 두께가 매우 두꺼운 전이슬래브 구조설계에 그대로 사용하고 있다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 합리적인 전이슬래브의 구조설계를 위해서는 RC 전이슬래브 시스템의 2면 전단거동 양상에 대한 명확한 분석이 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 전이슬래브의 두께, 콘크리트 강도, 전단경간비, 철근비 등 다양한 설계변수에 따라 비선형 FEM을 이용하여 전이슬래브의 2면 전단거동을 분석하였다. 또한 비선형 FEM 해석결과와 기존의 2면 전단강도 평가식으로 예측한 전단강도를 비교분석하여 기존 평가식의 전이슬래브 2면 전단강도 평가 유효성을 검토하였다.

최근 건축구조물에서 전이슬래브 시스템의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 과도한 전이슬래브의 두께로 인한 경제적, 시공적인 문제가 많이 발생하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 피트층의 설비 공간을 활용하여 전이슬래브의 두께를 절감하기 위하여 역드랍 패널을 적용한 전이슬래브 시스템을 고려하였다. 역드랍 패널을 사용하여 전이슬래브의 2면 전단강도를 증진시킴으로써 전이슬래브의 두께를 줄이고자 하였다. 따라서, 역드랍 패널을 이용한 전이슬래브 시스템의 유효성을 검증하고 전단거동을 조사하기 위하여 다양한 설계변수에 대한 역드랍 패널을 적용한 전이슬래브-기둥 접합부의 전단거동을 기존연구에서 검증된 비선형 FEM 해석방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 최종적으로 비선형 FEM 해석결과와 기존의 2면 전단강도 평가식으로 예측한 전단강도를 비교·분석하여 기존 평가식의 역드랍 패널을 적용한 전이슬래브-기둥 접합부의 2면 전단강도 평가에 대한 유효성을 검증하였다.

The problem of reducing the self-weight of reinforced concrete structures is very important issue. There are two approaches which may be used to reduced member weight. The first is tackled through reducing the cross sectional area by using voids and the second through using light weight materials. Reducing the weight of slabs is very important as it constitutes the effective portion of dead loads in the structural building. Eleven slab specimens was casted in this research. The slabs are made one way though using two simple supports. The tested specimens comprised three reference solid slabs and eight styropor block slabs having (23% and 29%) reduction in weight. The voids in slabs were made using styropor at the ineffective concrete zones in resisting the tensile stresses. All slab specimens have the dimensions ($1100{\times}600{\times}120mm$) except one solid specimens has depth 85 mm (to give reduction in weight of 29% which is equal to the styropor block slab reduction). Two loading positions or cases (A and B) (as two-line monotonic loads) with shear span to effective depth ratio of (a/d=3, 2) respectively, were used to trace the structural behavior of styropor block slab. The best results are obtained for styropor block slab strengthened by minimum shear reinforcement with weight reduction of (29%). The increase in the strength capacity was (8.6% and 5.7%) compared to the solid slabs under loading cases A and B respectively. Despite the appearance of cracks in styropor block slab with loads lesser than those in the solid slab, the development and width of cracks in styropor block slab is significantly restricted as a result of presence a mesh of reinforcement in upper concrete portion.

Two-way concrete slab is often modeled as an orthotropic plate. In the modeling, flexural rigidities of the slab which depend upon the re-bar quantity have to be taken into account. Elastic equivalence technique in which the equilibrium and compatibility of the cross-section of slab satisfied is utilized to determine th flexural rigidities. In the analysis Navier's method is applied on the concrete slab with all edges simply supported under inform lateral load. In addition to the analysis using orthotropic plate theory, finite element method is also adopted to suggest the finite element modeling and to investigate the applicability of the method. Results obtained by both methods were compared and it is observed that the difference of the results was increased as the ratio of re-bar quantity increased.

Various efforts have been made to reduce the weight of concrete slabs while preserving their flexural strength. This will result in reducing deflection and allows the utilization of longer spans. The top zone of the slab requires concrete to create the compression block for flexural strength, and the tension zone needs concrete to join with reinforcing for flexural strength. Also, the top and bottom slab faces must be linked to transmit stresses. Voided slab systems were and are still used to make long-span slab buildings lighter. Eight slab specimens of (1000^*1000 (1000^*1000 mm²) were cast and tested as two-way simply supported slabs in this research. The tested specimens consist of one solid slab and seven voided slabs with the following variables (type of slab solid and voided), thickness of slab (100 and 125 mm), presence of steel fibers (0% and 1%), and the number of GFRP layers). The voids in slabs were made using high-density polystyrene of dimensions (200^*200^*50 mm) with a central hole of dimensions (50^*50^*50 mm) at the ineffective concrete zones to give a reduction in weight by (34% to 38%). The slabs were tested as simply supported slabs under partial uniform loading. The results of specimens subjected to monotonic loading show that the combined strengthening by steel fibers and GFRP sheets of the concrete specimen (V-125-2GF-1%) shows the least deflection, deflection (4.6 mm), good ultimate loading capacity (192 MPa), large stiffness at cracking and at ultimate (57 and 41.74) respectively, more ductility (1.44), and high energy absorption (1344.83 kN.mm); so it's the best specimen that can be used as a voided slab under this type of loading.

In this study, the flexural behaviors of one- and two-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs strengthened with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips under impact loads were investigated. The flexural strengthening of RC slabs under simulated static monotonic loads has been comprehensively studied. However, the flexural behavior of RC slabs strengthened with CFRP strips has not been investigated extensively, particularly those conducted numerically. Nonlinear three-dimensional finite element models were developed, executed, and verified against previous experimental results, producing satisfactory models with approximately 4% error. The models were extended to a parametric study, considering three geometric parameters: the slab rectangularity ratio, CFRP strip width, and CFRP strip configuration. Finally, the main results were used to derive a new formula for predicting the total deflection of RC slabs strengthened with CFRP strips under impact loads with an error of approximately 10%. The proposed equation reflected the slab rectangularity, CFRP strip width, equivalent slab stiffness, and dropped weight. Results indicated that the use of CFRP strips enhanced the overall impact performance, the wider the CFRP width, the better the enhancement. Moreover, the application of diagonally oriented CFRP strips diminished the cracking zone compared to straight strips. Additionally, the diagonal orientation of CFRP strips was more efficient for two-way slabs while the vertical orientation was found to be better in the case of one-way slabs.

Two-way slab-column specimens were tested under monotonic loading increased up to punching shear failure to investigate the beneficial effects of fiber-reinforced concrete. The parameters for experiments are the placement of fibers within the immediate column region, the placement on the entire surface of the slab, and no placement of fibers. The effects of these parameters on the punching shear capacity, negative moment cracking. and stiffness of the two-way slab specimens were studied. According to the results the addition of steel fibers in the slab around the column results in a significant improvement in the performance including the increase of punching shear resistance, greater post-cracking stiffness and smaller crack width at service load levels.
