The paper deals with the loading test results of an experimental reinforced concrete flat slab fragment, which was supported by an elongated rectangular column. The slab specimens were 200 mm thick and were designed without any shear reinforcement. By experimentally obtained punching shear resistance, the accuracy of the standard design models for prediction punching resistance was compared. The results of the experiments were also compared with the results of a numerical non-linear analysis performed in the Atena program.

The structural behavior and the ultimate punching shear resistance of internal reinforced concrete flat slab-column connections, with one hole adjacent to the column, with or without flexural moment transfer of the slab to the column was investigated. Main variables were: the existence whether or not hole, flexural reinforcement layout and ratio, the direction and sense of the moment transferred and the eccentricity of the load (M (moment transferred to column) / V (shear)) ratio at the connection - 0,50 m or 0,25 m. Seven internal slab-column joining were tested and ultimate loads, cracking, deflections, concrete and reinforcement strains were analyzed. The existence of hole adjacent to the smaller column dimension, the hole dimension, flexural reinforcement rate and placing, the variation of relation Mu/Vu in function of the load, and, than, of eccentricity of the load, influenced the slabs behavior and rupture load. Test results were compared with the estimations from CEB-FIP/MC1990 [7], EC2/2004 [12], ACI-318:2011 [1] and NBR 6118:2007 [5]. ACI [1] and EC2 [12] presented most conservative estimates, although have presented some non conservative estimates. Brazilian NBR [5], even though being partly based in EC2 [12], presented smaller conservative estimates and more non conservative estimates. A modification on all codes is proposed for taking in account the moment caused by the eccentricity at the critical perimeter for slabs with holes.

The paper deals with the results of a loading an isolated fragment of flat slab specimen with two openings located close to the column. Slab specimen was supported by an elongated column and was without shear reinforcement. The accuracy of the relevant design models for prediction punching resistance was tested with obtained test results. All design models provided punching capacity on the safe side. The best accuracy has been achieved by non-linear analysis that was carried out with Atena software.

This paper deals with both linear and non-linear analysis of shear forces distribution in the area near the supports of the flat slabs. With a cross-section ratio of cmax / cmin > 3, the main amount of the shear stress is concentrated near the column or wall corners bases. As a consequence of this phenomenon, it is necessary to reduce the control perimeter when evaluating the punching shear resistance of a flat slab. The fragments of the flat slabs with the thickness of 200 mm supported by a wall with various loading conditions were analyzed. The results according to the Eurocode 2 were compared to a non-linear shear resistance evaluation that was calibrated based on the results from the previous experiments. Based on thus evaluated punching shear resistances, the theoretical reduced control perimeter was determined and subsequently it was compared to design model Eurocode 2. The physical basis for determining reduced control perimeters is based on the shear force concentration near the support.

In this study, the structural behavior of reinforced concrete flat plates shear reinforced with vertical grids made of a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) was experimentally evaluated. To examine the shear strength, experiments were performed on nine concrete slabs with different amounts and spacings of shear reinforcement. The test results indicated that the shear strength increased as the amount of shear reinforcement increased and as the spacing of the shear reinforcement decreased. The GFRP shear reinforcement changed the cracks and failure mode of the specimens from a brittle punching to flexure one. In addition, the experimental results are compared with a shear strength equation provided by different concrete design codes. This comparison demonstrates that all of the equations underestimate the shear strength of reinforced concrete flat plates shear reinforced with GFRP vertical grids. The shear strength of the equation by BS 8110 is able to calculate the punching shear strength reasonably for a concrete flat plate shear reinforced with GFRP vertical grids.

AbstractThe strength and post-peak performance of reinforced concrete corbels, strengthened with epoxy bonded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) overlays, were experimentally investigated. The test variables were the corbel shear span to depth ratio, corbel main reinforcement ratio, and the number and orientation of the GFRP fibers. In total, 24 normal strength concrete, one-third scale, corbel specimens, without hoop reinforcement, were tested to failure under quasi-static gravity loading. Test results revealed that GFRP overlays can easily be used for the enhancement of corbel load bearing capacity, depending on the fiber orientation. The main reinforcement ratio and the number of GFRP plies were found to be the two main variables affecting the level of strength gain in the corbel specimens.

Previous studies have demonstrated that reinforced concrete flat slab structures could be vulnerable to progressive collapse. Although such events are dynamic, simplified static analyses using the sudden column loss scenario are often used to gain an indication into the robustness of the structure. In this study, finite element analysis is used to replicate column loss scenarios on a range of reinforced concrete flat slab floor models. The model was validated against the results of scaled-slab experiments and then used to investigate the influence of different geometric and material variables, within standard design ranges, on the response of the structure. The results demonstrate that slab elements are able to effectively redistribute loading after a column loss event and therefore prevent a progressive collapse. However, the shear forces to the remaining columns were 159% of their fully supported condition and increased to 300% when a dynamic amplification factor of 2.0 was applied. It is shown that this can potentially lead to a punching shear failure in some of the slab elements.

The paper attempts to research the seismic behavior and mechanical mechanisms under repeated low-cycle loading of vertical connections in prefabricated reinforced concrete structures. Eighteen specimens were designed and tested, the test process and the mechanical mechanisms are studied, the seismic behavior of connections is analyzed, and the shear resistance formulas are proposed. The theoretical values based on proposed formulas are good agreement with test results. Under repeated loading, the shear resistance decreases, the connection ductility increases with connecting bar, but decreases with connection width. However, all the connections fail crisply with poor ductility. At sudden-cracking, the shear resistance increases with connecting bar, but changes nonlinearly with connection width. The resistance is composed of attributions of mechanism of diagonal-compressive column (MDCC) and mechanism of compressive friction action (MCFA). After sudden-cracking, the shear resistance is provided by weakened MDCC and dowel action of connecting bars (DACB). It increases with connecting bar and connection width.
