Deflections of a monolithic flat overlap with post-tension at different ratios of the sides of the slab cell
Abstract
Deflections of a monolithic flat overlap with post-tension at different ratios of the sides of the slab cell
Incoming article date: 17.02.2020The article presents the results of a study of the deflections of a monolithic flat floor with a different grid of columns with prestressed reinforcement without adhesion to concrete. To analyze the deflections, numerical studies of slabs with different rectangular columns and thicknesses were performed. The studies were performed using the LIRA CAD software package. The aspect ratio of rectangular cells of monolithic flat floors is determined, for which the application of prestressing is ineffective on the short side of the cell or most effective on the long side. It was revealed that the use of high-strength reinforcement of the "monostrand" type is most effective for a grid of columns 5x9m from the volume of the studied cell sides. It was found that the application of post-tension on the short side of the slab cell practically does not affect the total deflection of the cell - with the aspect ratio a / b> 1.2. The conclusion is drawn about the increase in the efficiency of using contour reinforcement with an increase in the deflections that affect the amount of rope repulsion. The results can be used in the design of slabs using prestressed reinforcement without adhesion to concrete of the "monostrand" type.
