Study on the Tensile and Shear Performances of Fully Precast Partially Composite Floor Slab Joints

This study explored the tensile and shear characteristics of fully prefabricated partially composite floor slab joints through the design and testing of two tensile specimens, three steel–concrete specimens, and three concrete–concrete shear specimens. These tests aimed to evaluate how various connection designs influence the joints’ load-bearing capabilities and failure patterns. The findings revealed that the tensile specimens predominantly showed bond failures at the interface of the precast and cast-in-place layers, accompanied by rebar pull-out. Incorporating reinforcing bars or sleeves was found to potentially increase their ultimate load-bearing capacity by about 20%. The shear failures in the steel–concrete specimens were primarily due to interactions between the steel beam and adjacent composite slab, whereas the concrete–concrete specimens mostly underwent local crushing at the load application point and failure at the bonding interface. These observations affirmed the accuracy of the existing methods for calculating tensile and shear strengths, offering vital insights for the architectural design and construction of such floor joints.
