Abstract

This article evaluates and compares the punching shear behaviour of unbonded prestressed concrete (UPC) slab - concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) column connections/joints with that of reinforced concrete (RC) slab connection – CFT column connections. The experimental program was carried out on five large-sized samples, including three UPC slab - CFT column samples and two RC slab - CFT column samples. Steel plate connection details were utilised to increase the bond between the concrete slab and the CFT column. The experimental results showed that the prestressing tendons significantly increased the pre and post-cracking stiffness of the slab-column connections, thereby, greatly reducing the deflection of the UPC slab - CFT column samples than that of the RC slab - CFT column samples, especially during the serviceability phase (by up to 58%). However, the use of tendons resulted in a significant decrease in the ductility and energy absorption index of the UPC slab - CFT column samples compared to that of the RC slab - CFT column samples (by up to 44% and 41%, respectively). Using prestressing tendons slightly increased the punching shear capacity, and significantly reduced the strain of the connection details such as the vertical ribs and the horizontal bearing plate. At the same time, the tendons helped greatly reduce the strain of the longitudinal rebars in the UPC slabs.
