Many times openings (cutouts) are required to be provided in reinforced concrete slab in buildings to provide way for lifts, or cables, ducts or other instrument to pass through one floor to other floors, mainly in the case of industrial buildings.

2018年9月5日 · An analysis method is formulated to predict the peak bending stress concentrations around a small circular opening in an idealized isotropic homogeneous, linear elastic-perfectly plastic plate-like s...

2009年7月20日 · Make sure that foundation dowels are provided for the added verticals. A standard detail, done properly, should cover 99% of the cases. For small openings, require the bars to be splayed (snaked) around opening. For very unusual situations with multiple holes or high diaphragm stresses, a more in-depth analysis (FEM) may be warranted.

Diagonal bars around the opening are necessary primarily to control the crack width at service loads. A liberal amount of diagonal bars therefore be provided until a rational quantity could be established. Diagonal bars for corner reinforcement are more effective in controlling crack width and reducing beam deflection.

2015年12月1日 · Some standards require that if the reinforcement is designed for a homogeneous slab, the interrupted amount of reinforcement by the opening must be distributed around the opening....

2022年4月18日 · The present study aims to experimentally investigate the effect of two individual parameters—opening size and additional reinforcement around opening on the seismic performance of RC walls tested under a novel test setup capable of applying pure shear forces.

2024年9月20日 · Bengi Aykac studied the flexural effect of RC beams with regular circular shapes and concluded that the strength of the beam opening can be resisted by diagonal reinforcement and energy absorption capacity of the beam is reduced when it …

Test results indicate that crack control and preservation of ultimate strength may be achieved by providing reinforcement around the opening. Diagonal bars were found to reduce the high stress in the compression chord, thus avoiding premature crushing of the concrete.

ng is reinforced with steel bars to avoid being weaker than sections without openings in the RC beam. This paper provides a method to evaluate the ultimate she.

- minimal reinforcement to avoid brittle fracture following EC2 in both directions (220 or 300mm /m), - reinforcement needed to resist actions on the slab. Most buildings use lattice girder slabs or plank floors with a thin (about 50 mm) reinforced concrete permanent
