| Abstract: |
Slim-floor girders form an attractive alternative to usual reinforced concrete flat slabs. However their effective design suffers from assumptions concerning the effective width of the concrete chord which are not reflecting the real deflection behaviour. This paper reports on investigations concerning the deformation of slim-floor girders including experiments on single-span and two- span continuous girders as well as analytical evaluations. The test results promise the advantageous possibility to increase the assumed ratios of the effective width for the design of slim-floor girders in serviceability limit state (SLS) and thus to improve the calculation of realistic deflections. |
