Abstract

See full text

A sleeve device for increasing shear capacity of a reinforced concrete slab includes a hollow member, stud members, and head members. The hollow member is positioned on and fastened to a bottom formwork defining the reinforced concrete slab. The hollow member creates a void in the reinforced concrete slab. The stud members are connected to opposing sides of the hollow member directly or using connectors. A first stud member is connected to an upper portion of the hollow member and oriented in a downward direction. A second stud member is connected to a lower portion of the hollow member and oriented in an upward direction. The head members are operably coupled to distal ends of the stud members and embedded in the reinforced concrete slab. The head members transfer shear forces across the sleeve device through an interaction between the head members and the concrete surrounding the stud members.
