    Hollow core slabs with in-situ reinforced concrete joints are used for floor spans between 4 to 25 meters. The individual precast concrete units are keyed together with site-filled concrete to form shear joints that allow for transverse load distribution between units. A line load on one unit produces a shear reaction and induces bending, shear, and torsion in the adjacent units. The load distributed depends on the torsional and flexural stiffness of all connected units, with stiffer units sharing more of the load. A computer program is used to model the floor slab and calculate load distributions between units.

    Load Distribution Factors for Hollow Core Slabs with

    In-situ Reinforced Concrete Joints


    Introduction:
    Precast concrete flooring offers an economic and versatile solution to suspended floors for spans
    from 4 to 25 m, and depths from 100 mm to 1 m. The floors are designed and constructed a one
    way slab in the direction of hollow cores and also provided the rebar in longitudinal direction
    only. The individual units are keyed along their edges using site filled using flowable
    concrete/mortar (grade B20 min.) to form a shear key without moment transfer. The shear keys
    permits the transverse distribution of reactions form line loads acting parallel to the span of the
    floor and localized point loads. Slabs are connected without concrete topping the lateral
    distribution relies entirely on the shear keys. Load distributed to the adjacent units is determined
    after complete the design of floor slab.
    A line load produces a shear reaction in the longitudinal edge of the adjacent units, and this
    induces bending, shear and torsion in the next slab. The capacity of the hcu to carry torsion is
    limited by the tensile capacity of the concrete. The magnitude of the shear reaction depends on
    the torsional stiffness and the longitudinal and transverse stiffness of all the adjacent units, low
    stiffness resulting in low load sharing. The deflected profile of the total floor slab is computed
    using finite strips and differential analysis. A computer program SAP 2000 is used where voids
    extrude throughout the panels are ignoted and rectangular plate is considered because influence
    to load distribution between hcu is negligible.
