Assessment of SFRC Slab-on-Piles Through In-Situ Load Testing
Demonstrating the performance of a structural component is typically accomplished through calculations based on engineering models. However, advancements in material science have enabled the use of new materials in the construction industry. One example is fibre-reinforced concrete, which consists of concrete with short, discontinuous fibres dispersed throughout its volume to enhance performance under service limit states. The absence of conventional reinforcement can affect ductility and load capacity, making calculations alone insufficient to demonstrate the performance of these elements. Therefore, load-testing programs need to be developed. This paper reports and discusses the results of a full-scale test on a fibre-reinforced concrete multi-span slab-on-piles. The development of the test program, including the loading setup to achieve failure loads, is presented. The slab's performance is evaluated in terms of deflections and crack widths at various loading intervals corresponding to both service limit states and ultimate limit states.
