Abstract
- Beam-and-block floors are used in many countries worldwide.
- 24 Beam-and-block specimens were tested to study their shear strength.
- The thickness of the compression slab increases the shear strength.
- Prestressed reinforcement of the joist influences the shear strength of the beams.
- 18 Specimens failed on bending, in spite of the predictions of the studied Codes.
