| Summary: | Reinforced concrete (RC) joists is a concrete structural components that exist in buildings in different forms with different strength and durability. Understanding the response of these joists components towards working load is necessary to the development of a safe and efficient structure. Various difficulties and problems we face through in daily life makes us think further and creatively to solve that certain problems with the specific solution. Therefore, there are few things that become enquiries based on the application of joists in upper floor construction is firstly the ability of designed joist with fixed dimension and geometry to act as permanent and temporary support to upper floor construction. This research primary scope is about the external reinforcement to be placed on the side of the joist. Therefore something to be focused on here is the effect towards flexural strength of joist due to different location of external side reinforcement. Does the side reinforcement will help in strengthen the joist or vice versa. These were things to be answered at the end of the study. There are two main objectives in this study. First is to measure the ultimate flexural capacity of designed RC joist to resist loading subjected from slab. The second objective is to observe any effects of side reinforcement towards the flexural strength of RC joist. These two aim is to be completed by laboratory testing. The four point flexural test will be conducted in specification of standard required based on previous research findings. Structural lab of Faculty of Civil Engineering, UMP will be used to proceed the testing. Thus at the end of this study, perhaps all the objectives can be achieved and the problems stated above is solve. |
