UNBONDED STRUCTURAL OVERLAYS

ALTHOUGH MOST METHODS OF COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION REQUIRE FULL HORIZONTAL SHEAR TRANSMISSION AMONG ALL STRUCTURAL MEMBERS, THERE ARE, HOWEVER, ADVANTAGES IN ELIMINATING SHEAR TRANSMISSION WHEN STRENGTHENING CERTAIN TYPES OF EXISTING STRUCTURES SUCH AS PRESTRESSED OR SIMPLY REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS AND BEAMS, BY USING STRUCTURAL OVERLAYS. THE PAPER BRIEFLY PRESENTS A DESIGN ANALYSIS OF UNBONDED STRUCTURAL OVERLAYS, AND DESCRIBES AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION DESIGNED TO TEST THE VALIDITY OF THE ANALYSIS. SPECIAL EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON METHODS THAT CAN BE USED TO ELIMINATE HORIZONTAL SHEAR TRANSMISSION BETWEEN THE OVERLAY AND THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE. /TRRL/
