ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: In the frame of a Korean-German research project various Slim-Floor systems have been evaluated in respect of bearing resistance-and serviceability demands, cost effectiveness and special Korean requirements. An evaluation of existing slab systems has been performed. On the basis of this results two innovative Slim-Floor slabs have been developed and optimised for Korean high-rise buildings to minimise the construction height of the cross section. These two composite Slim-Floor slabs with optimised cross section have been tested in different ground floor designs to investigate the bearing resistance and serviceability including vibration-behaviour. Particular emphasis is drawn to the dynamic properties and the vibration behaviour due to human activities. All tests are complimented byFE-models including sensibility analyses and parameter studies. Final conclusions are given to transfer of the research results to the design and execution of high-rise buildings.
