- The aim of the short-term studies is to investigate the structural behaviour of pile supported slabs made of steel fibre concrete (SFC) only and combined reinforced steel fibre concrete. The studies include tests on an elevated slab where a combination of reinforcement bars and steel fibres have been used in one half of the slab and SFC only in the other half. The tests were performed on a column-supported elevated slab that simulates a half scale model of an industrial pile-supported floor slab. The short-term tests showed considerable structural and crack arresting performance that also increased with a higher dosage of fibres. A small addition of conventional reinforcement bars further increased the ultimate load capacity P (Max). P (Max) was in the range of 125-298 kN for the two types of slab. The results indicate that SFC can be used with verifiable results in structural applications for elevated slabs and pile-supported floor slabs despite that the material testing from the ordered SFC showed a larger scatter in properties and that the calculated load capacities were only 40-220 kN. Main causes of deviance are arch and membrane effects.

Full-Scale Test on a Pile Supported Floor Slab – Steel Fibre Concrete Only or in a Combination with Steel
- 2008

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Ph. D project “Integrated Design and Construction of Industrial Floors” proceeds after the presentation of a Licentiate thesis covering methods to increase the quality of concrete floors, Hedebratt (2004). The aim for further studies is to develop directions for design and construction of pile supported steel fibre concrete, SFC floors. SFC is common in industrial floor slabs. In pile supported floor slabs also a combination of non-tensioned reinforcing bars and steel fibres have been used. Furthermore, neither Swedish nor European or any other known design guidelines cover steel fibres as the only reinforcement in pile supported floors or structural members.A common engineering advice is to disregard the ground support. The scope is to investigate the possibility to consider steel fibre only design solutions in a safe way and to compare it with a combined solution and as a reference performing full-scale tests and to develop design guidelines. The now ongoing test on a column supported deck emulates a half scale of an industrial supported floor slab but may also be considered to be full scale of a structural mushroom floor for small housing.

The aim for further studies is to develop directions for purchasing, design and construction of pile supported steel fibre concrete, SFC floors. SFC is common in industrial floor slabs. In pile supported floor slabs also a combination of non-tensioned reinforcing bars and steel fibres have been used. Furthermore, neither Swedish nor European or any other known design guidelines cover steel fibres as only the reinforcement in pile supported floors. A common engineering advice is to disregarding the ground support. The scope is to investigate the possibility to consider steel fibre only design solutions in a safe way and to compare it with a Combined solution and as a reference performing full-scale tests and to develop design guideline's also considering the actual ground support. The Falling Weight Deflectiometer is a promising method testing the ground support.

Industrial Fibre Concrete Floors : Experiences and Tests on Pile-Supported Slab
- 2012

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Pile supported floor slabs have often been designed solely in ultimate limit state ULS and then foremost with uniformly distributed loadings UDL. The investigation of serviceability limit state SLS has been of simpler nature, even according to the governing codes of practice.Often it has been minimum‑reinforced with the presumption that full friction to the supporting ground is present, whit‑out any inspection, which by the Swedish code of practice even more reduced the addition of crack reinforcement. The cracks have not been controlled, before they in fact have occurred. For pile supported floor slabs the ground support will be there still, at least for a time, after the casting. As the ground settles, as dehydration always will occur, and drainage and the covering roof the precipitation to reach the ground, the slab will often be completely free bearing between the piles. The minimum reinforcement is based on the assumption that only the upper layer is needed to reinforce due to dehydration shrinkage – despite that the whole floor section in time will obtain the same moisture profile and also shrinkage magnitude. One often excludes the influence of creep and temperature and the affect from external loading and local variance of restraints in calculations in the SLS. Research on behaviour in SLS has been modest; in spite of that the contractors and the client and finally the end‑user of the floors often suffer from these problems.It has by this thesis been established that the shrinkage of the concrete used for industrial floors is large 0.9‑1.1 ‰, and that the problem foremost arise from cracking and problems with joints and unevenness in the floor. The integrated method for design and production of industrial floors is a way to the solution, but requires that all involved assign to co‑operate to 100 %. Furthermore it is required that one selects the proper materials to the proper design and the proper production method. If one will save cost this will often be on materials; which will lead to reduced reinforcement content and reduced concrete thickness. This way is wrong and will in end make the client suffer economically. A way to solve this has been to cast the floors with steel fibre concrete SFC; from the beginning often a little bit thicker and with moderate steel fibre content and complementary reinforcement, compared to present execution. The competition from abroad has nevertheless shaped solutions that with thinner slabs and less traditional reinforcement and invalid design calculations compete on faulty grounds. This work demonstrates how this make the floor suffer in ULS and SLS.Trough full‑scale testing (half of a normally loaded industrial floor in matter of geometry) where a pile supported floor slab has been simulated by a flat‑slab floor cast in steel fibre concrete, it has been shown that the solution with steel fibre concrete performs well in slabs for industrial floors. On one hand it gives the opportunity to production wise superior methods for placing concrete which potentially could gain the environment with reduced reinforcement content, and on the other hand SFC brings a ductile failure behaviour for loadings with much larger magnitudes than in normal ULS design, and further SFC provides with a stiffer response and with possibility to construct slabs with small creep deformation.Finally it has been established that, when it comes to short‑term point loadings (ULS) and with long-term point loadings (SLS) one can rely on the bearing capacity and the tough behaviour of SFC. And that one may exert an influence on both limit states, through variation of the SFC and the reinforcement content. This is shown for a real bearing structure, the pile supported industrial floor, and that in a safe way.
