This paper investigates the post-punching behaviour of reinforced concrete slab–column connections with a goal of providing adequate structural integrity reinforcement. The test results of seven interior slab–column connections are presented. A study was made of the effects of slab thickness, length of structural integrity reinforcing bars, distribution of structural integrity reinforcement in slabs with rectangular columns, and the placement of structural integrity reinforcement in slabs with drop panels. Results from this test series and other researchers were compared with predictions using the CSA A23.3-04 design equations for both punching shear and post-punching resistance. The test results demonstrated that the provision of structural integrity reinforcement in accordance with the requirements of CSA A23.3-04 resulted in significant post-punching resistance and the design equations provide a reasonable estimate of this resistance.

The paper reports the results of an experimental investigation on the influence of shear studs on the behaviour of reinforced concrete slab-column edge connections with openings. The test parameters were the location of openings around the column, the size of openings, and the existence of shear reinforcement. The objective of the paper is to present and discuss the results of large-scale tests on slabs with shear stud reinforcement and compare these test results with those of tests on identical slabs but without shear reinforcement. All tested slabs contained same amounts of typical flexural reinforcement (ACI 318-95 and CSA A23.3-94). The presented test results can be used for studying the behaviour of slab-column connections and for calibration of the predictive models.Key words: reinforced concrete, edge connections, flat concrete plates, punching shear, shear strength, openings, failure, shear studs, shear reinforcement.

The thickness of the raft slab is determined by punching shear. The raft slab is commonly thick, which causes concrete volume is large. Mass concrete can bring disadvantage to the foundation. In order to increase the bearing capacity and reduce the thickness, it is suggested that the raft slab to be reinforced by steel fibers. There are five groups of specimens in this paper. S1 is the common reinforced concrete slab. S2 and S3 are concrete slabs reinforced by steel fibers broadcasted layer by layer when casting specimen. S4 and S5 are concrete slabs reinforced by steel fibers mixed homogeneously when making concrete. The punching shear tests of these slabs were done. The test results indicate that the punching shear capacity of the slab reinforced with steel fibers is higher than that of concrete slab, the stiffness and crack resistance of the steel fibers reinforced concrete slab are better than those of the common concrete slab and the punching shear of the slabs with different construction methods of steel fibers is similar. It analyses the punching shear behavior of the slab reinforced with steel fibers and suggests the ultimate bearing formula. The calculative values are coincided with the measured values well.

Reinforced concrete wall subjected to an impact by a hard steel missile with a mass of 47 kg and an impact velocity of 135 m/s was one case study in the IRIS 2010 benchmark exercise in OECD/NEA/CSNI/IAGE framework. The wall had dimensions of 2m × 2m × 0.25m and it was simply supported. The perforation of the missile was expected. Fortum Power and Heat Ltd. participated in the benchmark. In this paper, we present our modeling and blind prediction of the benchmark case. The test results of the benchmark were released after the predictions were made. Based on the result comparison, we concluded that our model gave conservative results.

Use of hollow material in slab can reduce self-weight and deflection than solid slab with CFRP reinforcement. This study was intended to evaluate the bending performance of void flexural members with CFRP reinforcements by bending tests. Test results showed that specimens with void and solid section had the similar failure mode by concrete crushing at the compression zone, and that there was a big flexural capacity difference between the two section. Flexural capacity of solid section with CFRP bars was increased by 55% for void section. Thus, for the design of flexural members with CFRP bars by concrete crushing failure, it is important to calculate the exact distribution of strains and stresses, and to consider the reduction of flexural strength of void section.

Here is the description of fi nite elementmodels of joints between reinforced concrete slab and column, made in the SIMULIA ABAQUS software package. The variable parameters were the ratio of the sides of the column cmax/cmin and the ratio of the side of the column to the eff ective depth c/h0. The calculation is performed in a non-linear formulation. Finite elementmodels showed realistic behavior: a punching shear pyramid was detected. It was found a signifi cant unevenness in the distribution of tangential deformations, as well as the main compressive deformations of the concrete slab near the column. The nature of the formation and development of the punching shear pyramid depends on the value of the ratio of the sides of the column cmax/cmin and the ratio of the side of the column to the eff ective depth slab c/h0.

The "flat slab" is a reinforced concrete slab bolstered, by a number of columns. Punching, shear is a category for collapse for reinforced concrete slabs exposed to great confined forces. In "flat slab" constructions the shear failure happens, at column bolster joints. To avoid this, collapse two methods are used, first method is increasing the column dimensions and, the other is to use drop panel if the first method leads to uneconomical, design. Two examples are used to find the effect, of column dimensions, increase on the punching shear failure of "flat slab". The first example, is a "flat slab" of span (5 by 5) m and the other is of span (6 by 6) m. The column which examined is the interior, edge and corner columns, and the interior column is the most dangerous case. It is concluded that, the increase of column dimensions are lead to avoid of punching shear failure in "flat slab" and the drop panel is enlarge the area of the critical shear perimeter and this avoiding punching shear failure.

The article presents the methodology and results of an analytical study of structural parameters influence on the value of punching force for the joint of columns and flat reinforced concrete slab. This design solution is typical for monolithic reinforced concrete girderless frames, which have a wide application in the construction of high-rise buildings. As the results of earlier studies show the punching shear strength of slabs at rectangular columns can be lower than at square columns with a similar length of the control perimeter. The influence of two structural parameters on the punching strength of the plate is investigated - the ratio of the side of the column cross-section to the effective depth of slab C/d and the ratio of the sides of the rectangular column Cmax/Cmin. According to the results of the study, graphs of reduction the control perimeter depending on the structural parameters are presented for columns square and rectangular cross-sections. Comparison of results obtained by proposed approach and MC2010 simplified method are shown, that proposed approach gives a more conservative estimate of the influence of the structural parameters. A significant influence of the considered structural parameters on punching shear strength of reinforced concrete slabs is confirmed by the results of experimental studies. The results of the study confirm the necessity of taking into account the considered structural parameters when calculating the punching shear strength of flat reinforced concrete slabs and further development of code design methods.

A total of four two-way reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with three methods were tested. The four test specimens were one unstrengthened reinforced concrete slab (control), one slab strengthened with CFRP strips, one slab strengthened with steel sheets, and one slab strengthened with an innovative method of applying CFRP strips and steel sheets combination bonding to the tension face of the slab. The test results show the CFRP-Steel combination strengthened technique is a rapid and effective strengthening technique for two-way RC slab. The increase in ultimate capacities of CFRP-Steel combination strengthened slab is 221.1% over the control slab, 84.4% over the CFRP-strengthened slab, and 45.2% over the steel-strengthened slab. In addition, the CFRP-Steel combination strengthened slab exhibited superior ductility than the CFRP-strengthened slab.
