In the present study, the effect of using reinforced concrete column capital on the punching shear strength of flat slab was investigated. The study was divided into two lines, the first line was the experimental study involves the molding four reinforced concrete flat slab models with dimensions (1600×1600×100 mm) with three different dimensions of column capital (400×400 mm, 600×600 mm, and 800×800 mm) in addition to reference model without columns capital (column dimension 200×200 mm). The second line that numerical modeling through the ABAQUS finite element program was introduced. Effect of column’s capital size and shape of column’s capital (rectangular and circular) were studied experimentally and numerically. A good agreement was obtained between the experimental and theoretical study. The main conclusion that the punching shear strength of reinforced concrete flat slab was affected on the size and shape of a column capital.

Owing to their high strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion resistance, and convenience in manufacture, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars can be used as a good alternative to steel bars to solve the durability issue in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, especially for seawater sea-sand concrete. In this paper, a theoretical model for predicting the punching shear strength of FRP-RC slabs is developed. In this model, the punching shear strength is determined by the intersection of capacity and demanding curve of FRP-RC slabs. The capacity curve is employed based on critical shear crack theory, while the demand curve is derived with the help of a simplified tri-linear moment-curvature relationship. After the validity of the proposed model is verified with experimental data collected from the literature, the effects of concrete strength, loading area, FRP reinforcement ratio, and effective depth of concrete slabs are evaluated quantitatively.
