Comparative Study Floor Flexural Behavior of Profiled Steel Sheeting Dry Board between Normal Concrete and Geopolymer Concrete In-Filled

Abstract:

This study investigates the behavior of in-filled materials of profiled steel sheeting dry board (PSSDB) floor system. Two tests were conducted, namely, push-out test to know the connection stiffness and bending test on the PSSDB panel under the influence of different in-filled materials. Result of the push-out test shows that the connection stiffness of the geopolymer concrete-filled PSSDB is 331% higher than that of PSSDB that is filled with normal concrete. This connection stiffness contributed to the reduction of deflection value of 21% in the middle of the midspan for full-board geopolymer concrete in-filled panel bending test. This phenomenon triggered the increase of interaction within the composite system, making the panel that is filled with the geopolymer concrete 25% stronger than the normal concrete–filled panel.
