Analysis of Natural Frequencies of Voided Biaxial Concrete Slabs

Article Preview

Abstract:

Voided slabs using voids formed by permanent fillers or removable forms have been used in reinforced concrete floor systems for more than 100 years. In this article we will focus on the natural frequency of voided biaxial slabs system Cobiax. Cobiax void former modules are synthetic hollow spheres or rotational ellipsoids mounted in the relevant spaces between the upper and lower reinforcement. We have analyzed the slabs of different thicknesses with adequate void former modules and spans following the manufacturer's recommendations. All models were considered as simply supported slabs. Natural frequencies calculated using simplified analytical methods have been compared with those obtained by numerical methods. Numerical calculation was done using the 2D elements with reduced properties and using the accurate 3D model of a structure.
