Integrity and Collapse Resistance of Structural Concrete Floor Systems - Report
Also Known As:
The ACI PRC-377-21 standard is a comprehensive document that presents an overview of the collapse-resisting mechanisms of various types of reinforced concrete and post-tensioned floor systems. The report specifically focuses on flat plates, flat slabs, slabs with beams, joist floor systems, and precast floor systems.
The main objective of this standard is to summarize the current understanding of the behavior of these floor systems after experiencing localized failures. It aims to provide guidance on the integrity and collapse resistance of structural concrete floor systems by analyzing the collapse-resisting mechanisms that come into play following initial local failures.
By studying the behavior of these floor systems, the report offers insights into the factors influencing their overall integrity and collapse resistance. This information is crucial for engineers, architects, and other professionals involved in the design, construction, and evaluation of reinforced concrete and post-tensioned floor systems.
