Abstract
Precast concrete composite slab is one of the most widely used precast elements in civil engineering, which is suitable for all kinds of prefabricated concrete structure. The longitudinal bars at the bottom of precast slab extend beyond the ends of it, which brings a lot of inconveniences in fabrication, transportation and installation. In order to avoid those disadvantages of traditional precast concrete composite slab, a new no-protruding rebar concrete slab shear wall joint is developed in this paper. And five concrete slab-shear wall joint specimens were fabricated to research the joint structure of composite slab with no-protruding rebar but including additional rebar. In order to verify the seismic performance of the new concrete slab-shear wall joint, Pseudo-static testing of those specimens were carried out and the bearing capacity, stiffness, ductility and energy-dissipating capacity of different specimens were compared. The experiment results show that the additional rebar is necessary to the joints of composite slab with no-protruding rebar shear wall to ensure the seismic reliability of the joint connection; the bearing capacity and ultimate deformation of the new no-protruding rebar concrete slab-shear wall joint increase with the increasing of the lapped length of additional rebar.
