The advent of new solutions that incorporate spherical hollow cores create the premises for providing adequate guidelines to be used by practicians, suitable to accommodations for a variety of onsite conditions. The here-in research programme is aimed at answering the fundamental question of structural behaviour for such floor systems, subjected to flexure and shear, as well as their limits of use. Rezumat Mare parte din volumul de beton pus in operă intr-o structură civilă este reprezentat de sistemul de planseu utilizat. Apariţia unor soluţii care incorporează goluri sferice creează premisele pentru a furniza practicienilor de pretutindeni indrumări clare, adaptabile situaţiilor concrete din practică. Studiul prezentat in continuare doreste să răspundă unor intrebări fundamentale, precum comportarea structurală sau limitele utilizării acestora.

A brief history on the mathematical apparatus involved in the computing of the capable bending moment is presented, based on the initial proposal of Hognestad et al., in the early 1950’s. Various national design codes use different values for the coefficients involved in this computing. Since experimental studies provide now sufficient data, it is necessary to adjust the values of those coefficients as not to over estimate the load carrying capacity for high strength concrete. Some observations on the longitudinal reinforcement ratio will be presented. It seems that transversal reinforcement does not have influence on the capable bending moment as it is the case for classic concrete.

The influence of the longitudinal coefficient of reinforcement and the stress-strain diagram in compression on the behaviour in the Ultimate Limit State will be analysed based on the data collected in the fore mentioned study.
