An Evaluation of One-way Void Slabs on the Shear Capacity according to an Effective Cross Section and the Capacity of Shear Reinforcing Bars depending on Integration Method
Void slab is a slab with hollow portions in the center of the slab which reduce a self weight of the slab. The flexural capacity of void slab is almost same with a normal slab, but the shear capacity is reduced according to the increasing of hollow portion. One of the solutions to improve shear capacity is using shear reinforcing bars. In this study, the shear capacity of one-way void slabs is evaluated according to an effective cross section and the capacity of shear reinforcing bars is discussed depending on integration method. As a result, it is shown that the shear capacity tends to be reduced from 0% to 34.5% of hollow rate and slightly increased from 34.5% to 40.0%. And the capacity of integrated shear reinforcing bars are better than the one without integrated shear reinforcing bars.
