The design of a flat plate structure is generally governed either by serviceability limits on deflection or punching shear strength of the column–slab connections. To increase the strength of a column–slab connection, a new type of shear reinforcement, referred to as shear stud, is gaining popularity in practice. In this paper, a nonlinear layered finite element method (LFEM) is used to investigate the effectiveness of the shear studs in increasing the punching shear strength of edge and corner column–slab connections. In total, nine large-scale reinforced concrete slabs of a flat plate floor in the vicinity of edge and corner columns, tested previously in the laboratory, are analysed. All the slabs contained stud shear reinforcement (SSR) except a control slab where no SSR was provided. The test variables were the column size and the ratio of stud spacing to slab thickness. The punching shear strengths, load–deflection responses, and crack patterns predicted by the LFEM are compared with the experimental results. The numerical investigation confirms the accuracy and effectiveness of the LFEM in predicting the strength of column–slab connections with SSR.Key words: column–slab connection, concrete flat plate, punching shear, stud shear reinforcement, finite element analysis.

The punching shear on the flat plate slab-column connection can bring about the reason of the brittle punching shear failure which may result of collapsing the whole structure. From the development of residential flat plate system, the shear reinforcement is developed for preventing the punching shear. This study proposed 3 reinforcements that are increased to bond capacity using lateral bar, the structure test is performed. As performed test result, because slabs not keep enough bond length, slab is failed before shear reinforcement's yield strength duo to anchorage of slip. According to result, FEM analyzed an effect of slab thickness and concrete compressive. The study suggests shear strength formula that possible a positive shear reinforcement in slab-column connection.

The occurrence of unbalanced moment in edge slab-column connections of flat plate structure cannot be avoided and increase the slab shear stress around the column. This paper investigates the effect of M/V ratio on punching shear strength of edge column-slab connections using finite element analysis. The Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) and truss model in Abaqus were used to model the nonlinear behavior of concrete and reinforcement, respectively. Ten values of the M/V ratio were applied to a subassembly edge connection model which was part of a properly design of a 5 story flat plate structure. The shear strength prediction of ACI 318-14 code on the effect of unbalanced moment in edge column-slab connection was also studied. The analysis results show that the effect of unbalanced moment on shear strength is not significant for M/V ratio less than 0.3. However, for M/V ratio greater than 0.3, the shear strength is reduced in an exponential order. The ACI 318-14 code overestimates prediction on connection’s shear strength for the M/V ratio less than 0.3. The code predictions are in a good agreement with the analysis results for the edge connection with the M/V ratio greater than 0.3.

The main aim of this paper is studied the punching shear and behavior of reinforced concrete slabs exposed to fires, the possibility of punching shear failure occurred as a result of the fires and their inability to withstand the loads. Simulation by finite element analysis is made to predict the type of failure, distribution temperature through the thickness of the slabs, deformation and punching strength. Nonlinear finite element transient thermal-structural analysis at fire conditions are analyzed by ANSYS package. The validity of the modeling is performed for the mechanical and thermal properties of materials from earlier works from literature to decrease the uncertainties in data used in the analysis. A parametric study was adopted in this study,  it has many factors such as the ratios of length to thickness, fire temperature, time exposed to fire, concrete compressive strength, area exposed to fires and type of support. It can be concluded from this research the significant factors that affect the punching shear strength. However, the increasing ratio of length to thickness may be lead to increasing the deflection more than 123% at fire condition. Also, the increasing temperature leads to increasing the deflection about 40% at fire condition.

The unbalance moments at the edge connections of flat plate structures induced by lateral forces (i.e. an earthquake) may not always act in parallel directions of the building axes. Most research studied the unbalanced moments in one direction, a few of them in biaxial directions, and none of them in incline directions. This paper presents the results of a nonlinear finite element analysis on punching shear capacity at edge column-slab connections subjected to three directions of the unbalanced moments namely perpendicular, incline 45°, and parallel to the slab free edge in combination with the shear force. A 3-D numerical analysis of ten isolated edge column-plate connections was conducted by applying an appropriate element size, mesh, and calibrated material parameters of the concrete damage plasticity (CDP) model in ABAQUS. the connections were subjected to ten variations of the moment to shear (M/V) ratios. The results show that the punching shear capacity decreases exponentially for the unbalanced moment acting perpendicular and parallel to the slab free edge, and linearly for unbalanced moment incline 45° as the increase in M/V ratio. The M-V interaction at the edge connections depends on the unbalanced moment directions which are slightly different from the ACI 318 code.

Most current concrete design codes include provisions for punching shear of reinforced concrete slabs supported on columns with L, T, and cruciform shapes. Reference studies verifying the accuracy of these code provisions are typically not provided. Empirical data of punching failures of slabs supported on columns with L, T, and cruciform shapes are limited due to the cost and time required to test specimens with slab thicknesses and column sizes commonly used in practice. In this paper, the punching shear behaviour of five interior L-shaped slab-column connections, one without a slab opening and four with slab openings, subjected to static concentric loading are analyzed using a plasticity-based nonlinear finite element model (FEM) in ABAQUS. The FEM is similar to models previously calibrated at the University of Waterloo and are calibrated considering nine slabs that are tested to study the impact of column rectangularity on the punching shear behaviour of reinforced concrete slabs. The finite element analysis results indicate that shear stresses primarily concentrate around the ends of the L, and that current code predictions from ACI 318-19 and Eurocode 2 may be unconservative due to the assumed critical perimeters around L-shaped columns.
