TY - JOUR TI - Dissipative forces in joint surface of composite reinforced concrete floors AU - Gromysz, Krzysztof TI - Dissipative forces in joint surface of composite reinforced concrete floors AB - It is assumed that longitudinal shearing in joint surface (interface) of composite floors is balanced by: elastic forces, force of cohesion and kinetic friction. Moreover, internal friction occurs in the interface. Due to their nature, not all the above mentioned phenomena occur at the same time; however they are together responsible for deformation of interface. The paper discusses dissipative forces (non elastic). An interface model is built and test results of six floors are presented. All slabs are the same size – 3 m span and 0.6 m width and 0.18 m high. All slabs have the same longitudinal reinforcement. There are four types of join surface tested: smooth, very smooth, with eliminated adhesion and indented.
