The deflection of donut type hollow slab considering crack behaviors

초록

Recently, various types of slab systems which can reduce self-weight of slabs have been studied as the height and width of building structures rapidly increase. A hollow slab system is widely known as one of the effective slab system which can reduce self-weight of slab. According to previous studies, the hollow slab with donut type hollow sphere had enough flexural strength. On the other hand, there were some differences in flexural stiffness and deflection between general RC slab and donut type hollow slab. The deflection of hollow slab was influenced by the shapes of hollow spheres due to its different second moment of inertia and amount of concrete surrounding bottom re-bar. Especially, the cracking behaviors also influence the deflection of slab. General RC slab deflection has been sufficiently investigated and some models to consider the crack behavior such as crack width, crack space, tension stiffening effect, bond-slip relationship. However, there is no study about the crack behavior on the hollow slab. Therefore, the purposes of this paper are to presents the cracking behavior of donut type hollow slab and to evaluate the deflection considering the crack behavior under flexural load.
