The punching resistance of actual reinforced concrete flat slabs is potentially influenced by the com- pressive membrane action, which may significantly increase their

For this purpose, numerous nonlinear finite element simulations were carried out to determine the behavior and punching shear strength of flat concrete slabs with different

11—Design recommendations: (a) influence of cutoff length of flexural reinforce- ment on punching strength; results of tests presented in this paper (Specimens PM21 to PM24

3 Level II of approximation (typical design) 3.4 Structural analysis and flexural design The moments and the reaction forces have been calculated with a finite..

Flexural behavior and punching shear strength of an actual slab may be significantly influenced by redistribution between hogging and sagging moments and compressive membrane

Shear fields and distribution of nominal shear forces along different control perimeters: (a) two effective regions in an internal rectangular column with concentric loading, (b)

1) Significant moment redistribution from support to mid-span may occur before punching in slabs with low amount of flexural reinforcement on supports due to cracking of concrete

Nuno F.Silva Mamede et.al., (2013) analysed the punching shear of flat slabs through experimental and 3D nonlinear FEA.Numerical results were compared with experimental ones

Investigations on the topic of punching shear strength have shown that the presence of prestress in flat slabs has a number of potential beneficial effects, namely the vertical

prediction of the punching failure model of SFRC flat slabs flexurally reinforced with steel bars,

Also, Electrical strain gauges with 10 mm length, 119.8±0.2 ohms' resistance were used to measure shear strain in web and longitudinal strains of top and bottom flanges of steel

On this basis, a simple design equation for the punching shear capacity of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) slabs is proposed.. Crown Copyright Ó 2012 Published by

The assumed load transfer corresponds to the load transfer proposed for failure within the shear-reinforced area, by which the concrete, the shear reinforcement outside the
