Punching shear behaviour of geopolymer concrete two-way slabs reinforced by FRP bars under monotonic and cyclic loadings
This study examines the punching shear and deflection performance of 16 Geopolymer concrete (GC) two-way slabs subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading by considering the reinforcement material, percentage of reinforcement, type of concrete and the concrete grade. The tested specimens indicated that the crack patterns at the failure and failure modes were almost similar regardless of the type of reinforcement or their ratio. Moreover, the slabs reinforced by fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars exhibited a lower punching capacity than those strengthened by steel bars, even for similar reinforcement ratios. In addition, the results showed that upon increasing the concrete strength and reinforcement ratio, a higher punching shear capacity and lower deflections were obtained under cyclic and monotonic loading. In addition, the punching shear performance of GC slabs was found to be better than that of ordinary concrete (OC), even though both were reinforced by the basalt FRP (BFRP) bar. However, the ultimate load capacity of the slabs was reduced as a result of cyclic loading according to the capacity of the same specimen, resulting from static loading. However, the reduction is very low for slabs reinforced with FRP slabs. Further, the slabs reinforced by FRP had a better fatigue performance compared with slabs reinforced by steel bars with respect to cyclic loading. The results of the tests were also used to evaluate the accuracy of the available punching shear capacity equations.
