Abstract

Precast concrete elements were developed in the early 20th century to meet the increasing construction needs. Hollowcore slabs are prestressed precast slab elements which have longitudinal cores running along the longitudinal (length) span. Provision of cores results in reduction of dead weight and leads to efficient cross section as it increases the effect of prestressing due to reduced cross sectional area. In some instances, openings/cut-outs are introduced in the hollowcore slabs due to various structural and service requirements. This can cause reduction in capacity, stiffness and can change the failure mode of hollowcore slabs. The intent of this research is to evaluate and quantify the effect of openings in hollowcore slabs and also to restore the loss in strength/capacity by strengthening the slabs using fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRP)
