Study of the behavior of a experimental reinforced concrete slab at different stages of loading from the production of the reinforced concrete slab over it

Abstract

This report examines the behavior of a reinforced concrete slab, part of an experimental reinforced concrete structure, under loads derived from the casting of the formwork system of the subsequent plate and from the laid concrete mix in the slab above it. The deflections in the individual stages were measured with the help of dial gauges. The full strength and deformation characteristics of the concretes used in the construction were researched. The behavior at all stages of loading of the slab was studied, including each phase of formwork of the slab above it and the laying of the concrete in the formwork itself. Conclusions have been made about the behavior of the slabs during production using the method for Early striking of reinforced concrete slabs.
