Analysis of Test Results
1
What we’ll have to do:
• Load-Deflection curve.
• Load Vs Strain curve for steel and concrete
• Find yield load (es = 0.002) for flexural rebar
and strain at failure load for concrete and
rebar.
• First yield load for flexural reinforcement.
• Ductility of the slab.
• Energy absorption.
• Deflection profile.
2
• Calculate flexural strength and Punching
shear capacity of the slab.
• Compare test result with predicted result.
• Show a photograph depicting the crack
pattern at failure.
• Make comment on the mode of failure of the
slab.

• Find yield load (es = 0.002) for
flexural rebar and strain at failure
load for concrete and rebar.
• First yield load for flexural
reinforcement.

Ductility and Energy
Absorption of the Slab
Ductility = Ratio of the deflection at 25% of
maximum load (after reaching the maximum
load) to the deflection at the first yielding of
flexural reinforcement.
Energy Absorption = Area under the load
deflection curve up to 25 % maximum load
(after reaching the maximum load)
