The paper presents the results of flexural and shear tests up to failure on full-scale hollow-
core slabs (HCS) having a depth of 500 mm. A detailed non-linear 2D finite element model …

In order to study the bearing performance of a new type of prefabricated subway station
structure (PSSS), firstly, a three-dimensional finite element model of the PSSS was …

Precast concrete hollow core (PHC) slabs have been widely used in brick and concrete
structures of rural buildings due to their economic and rapid construction in China. A new …

Extensive investigations show that the core-filling method can markedly improve the shear
behaviour of hollow core beams (HCBs). However, few investigations were carried out to …

Although providing sufficient shear strength is crucial in the design of hollow-core slabs
(HCS) to prevent shear failure, conventional shear equations for HCS could not always …

Prestressed concrete (PC) hollow slab is widely used in the construction of short and
medium span highway bridges in China. With the increase in the highway load, the shear …

According to traditional theory, there should be shear stresses in the cracked tension zone
due to the presence of bond between longitudinal tension reinforcements and surrounding …

This study evaluated the shear performance of prestressed concrete hollow core slabs
(HCS), which are convenient to use as floor structures of flexible spaces. A total of 18 …

In this study, full-scale fire tests and finite element (FE) analyses are conducted to
investigate the fire resistance performance of hollow-core slabs (HCSs) manufactured using …

In this study, four-point load tests were conducted to evaluate the shear performance of
factory-produced precast prestressed concrete hollow core slabs (HCS) assembled on-site …
