Abstract
With the purpose to characterize the behavior of a transfer slab system, a slab-wall full-scale specimen was designed, build and tested to cyclic loads in the Laboratory of Structures at UAM. The prototype slab-wall was subjected to three load patterns: 1) gravitational load; 2) horizontal load only; and 3) a combination of gravitational and lateral loads. The specimen consists of a masonry wall placed on top of a squared two-way slab of 4.25 m by side, thickness of 12 cm, on four reinforced concrete beams. The most important results presented herein are the resistance capacity of the slab supporting a load-bearing wall subjected to vertical and horizontal load. Analytical finite element slab-wall models were used.
