In-Situ Load Testing of a SFRC Slab-on-Piles
Demonstrating the performance of a structural component can usually be done through calculations based on engineering models. However, the development in material science has made it possible to use new materials in the construction industry. One such example is the use of fibre-reinforced concrete defined as concrete containing short and discontinuous fibres dispersed throughout the concrete volume in order to improve the performance in service limit state. The lack of conventional reinforcement may affect the ductility and load capacity, and the calculations alone may not be sufficient to demonstrate the performance of these elements. Load-testing programs are therefore needed to be developed. The current paper reports and discuss 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 the failure loads are presented. The performance of the slab is evaluated in terms of deflections and crack widths at certain loading intervals that corresponds with service limit state as well as ultimate limit state.
