Estudio del comportamiento estructural de una losa de hormigón de 3cm de espesor sobre Cresta de Placa Colaborante de STEEL panel y valles rellenos de Poliestireno expandido ante cargas puntuales y vibración.

Abstract

The present degree study focuses on analyzing the structural behavior of the 3 cm thick Steel Panel slabs, which are composed of concrete on the ridge and valleys covered with expanded polystyrene. To do this, these slabs have been subjected to specific loads and a comparative analysis has been conducted with the 12 cm thick collaborating slabs. To obtain accurate data, three specimens of collaborating slabs of 3 cm and another three of 12 cm have been manufactured. These specimens have been evaluated in the laboratory, subjecting them to specific loads to perform a bending and cutting analysis of the element, measuring the maximum resistance of the slabs and the deflections that each of them suffered. The results obtained from this analysis show that the collaborating slabs 3 cm thick support an approximate load of three tons, but reach the rupture as a fragile fault and with bending cracks, with small deflections, approximately 6 mm. On the other hand, the 12 cm collaborating slabs demonstrated a ductile failure and had cracks for cutting. The data obtained from this study are of great relevance since they allow us to know the behavior of these collaborating slabs and compare their strength and durability in different load and stress circumstances.
