This study found that adding ultrafine steel fiber and flexural reinforcement to reactive powder concrete slabs can enhance punching shear resistance, resulting in superior performance. Moreover, increasing slab thickness leads to a corresponding increase in ultimate punching shear strength.
This article investigates the effect of flexural reinforcement and ultrafine steel fiber on the punching shear of reactive powder concrete (RPC) slabs with different thicknesses. Ten RPC slabs and two normal-strength concrete (NSC) slabs were cast and tested with dimensions of 520x520 mm. According to test parameters, these slabs were arranged into three sets. These parameters were the percentage of ultrafine steel fiber, presence/absence of flexural reinforcement, and thickness of the slab. All slab specimens were simply supported along the four edges and concentrically loaded by a square plate with dimensions of 70x70 mm. The experimental results indicated superior and higher performance for RPC slabs compared with NSC slabs in which the punching shear resistance of RPC slabs increased by 78.8%, 92.5%, and 100.8% for RPC slabs containing steel fibers of 1%, 1.5%, and 2%, respectively, as compared with NSC slabs with the same thickness. Also, the presence of flexural steel reinforcement in the slab resulted in a higher ultimate punching shear strength compared with the similar slab without flexural steel reinforcement. Moreover, with increasing the slab thickness, the ultimate punching shear increased significantly and the ultimate deflection decreased as the flexural rigidity of the section increased. Finally, the results showed that it is possible to produce thin RPC slabs with 2% microsteel fibers and without flexural reinforcement to able to sustain the ultimate load, which are comparable with reinforced and nonreinforced normal concrete slabs, which is very crucial for designers who need to reduce the reinforcement amount required with beneficial effects on the cost and self-weight reduction for many structural applications.
