Punching shear failure is a major problem encountered in the design of reinforced concrete flat slabs. The utilization of shear reinforcement via shear studs or other means has become a choice for improving the punching shear capacity. In this study, a new alternative of reinforcement modalities were tested and demonstrated the effect of self-compact concrete on the punching shear capacity, beside that compared between the difference codes to identify the suitable one for determining the position of critical section of punching shear. Nevertheless, in this investigation, the proposed reinforcement system is examined for interior columns only. An experimental work consisting of six specimens: five of them were cast with normal reinforced concrete and one was cast with self-compact strength concrete. The obtained results indicate that the proposed shear reinforcement system has a positive effect in the enhancement of the punching shear capacity of interior slab–column connection of self-compact strength concrete.

Punching shear failure is a brittle failure and it is one of the most important types of failure to be considered while designing a reinforced concrete flat slab. This paper aims to study the performance of reinforced concrete flat slabs equipped with different punching shear reinforcement parameters. Three flat slab specimens were cast where two specimens contain punching shear reinforcement in the form of shear stirrups and structural shearbands. The test specimens have length and width of 1000mm and thickness of 185mm for the slabs. The slabs are connected to a column at the center with length and breadth of 300mm and a depth of 700mm. The test specimens were supported by steel plates with length and breadth of 150mm and a thickness of 25mm at the four corners of the slab. The test specimens are loaded on the column face at the top. The deflection, strain and crack pattern were observed and recorded.

Flat Slabs

When designing flat slabs made of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC), it is very important to predict their punching shear capacity accurately. The use of machine learning seems to be a great way to improve the accuracy of empirical equations currently used in this field. Accordingly, this study utilized tree predictive models (i.e., random forest (RF), random tree (RT), and classification and regression trees (CART)) as well as a novel feature selection (FS) technique to introduce a new model capable of estimating the punching shear capacity of the SFRC flat slabs. Furthermore, to automatically create the structure of the predictive models, the current study employed a sequential algorithm of the FS model. In order to perform the training stage for the proposed models, a dataset consisting of 140 samples with six influential components (i.e., the depth of the slab, the effective depth of the slab, the length of the column, the compressive strength of the concrete, the reinforcement ratio, and the fiber volume) were collected from the relevant literature. Afterward, the sequential FS models were trained and verified using the above-mentioned database. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed models for both testing and training datasets, various statistical indices, including the coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE), were utilized. The results obtained from the experiments indicated that the FS-RT model outperformed FS-RF and FS-CART models in terms of prediction accuracy. The range of R2 and RMSE values were obtained as 0.9476–0.9831 and 14.4965–24.9310, respectively; in this regard, the FS-RT hybrid technique demonstrated the best performance. It was concluded that the three hybrid techniques proposed in this paper, i.e., FS-RT, FS-RF, and FS-CART, could be applied to predicting SFRC flat slabs.

Critical Aspects

The use of flat slabs in constructions due to its many functional and economic advantages is wide-spread. Behavior of flat slabs in shear and flexure is a fairly complex problem. Therefore, the punching shear failure belongs to one of the most critical aspects in the design of concrete buildings.The purpose of this paper is to describe a framework of the proposed method for predicting the punching shear of flat slabs with shear reinforcement. Most of the current codes in force are mainly based on empirical formulation. The proposed method is based on a strut-and-tie model and therefore could be considered as an analytical approach. For the purpose of demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method, the method is compared with some of the main methods currently in use, such as Eurocode EC2, ACI 318 and Model Code 2010. The comparison consists of results of more than 90 experiments on flat slabs with shear reinforcement, gathered from publications from all around the world.

Shear Design

The exact effect that each of the basic shear design parameters exerts on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without shear reinforcement (Vc) is still unclear. Previous research on this subject often yielded contradictory results, especially for reinforced high-strength concrete (HSC) beams. Furthermore, by simply adding Vc and the contribution of stirrups Vs to calculate the ultimate shear capacity Vu, current shear design practice assumes that the addition of stirrups does not alter the effect of shear design parameters on Vc. This paper investigates the validity of such a practice. Data on 656 reinforced concrete beams were used to train an artificial neural network model to predict the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams and evaluate the performance of several existing shear strength calculation procedures. A parametric study revealed that the effect of shear reinforcement on the shear strength of RC beams decreases at a higher reinforcement ratio. It was also observed that the concrete contribution to shear resistance, Vc, in RC beams with shear reinforcement is noticeably larger than that in beams without shear reinforcement, and therefore most current shear design procedures provide conservative predictions for the shear strength of RC beams with shear reinforcement.Key words: analysis, artificial intelligence, beam depth, compressive strength, modeling, shear span, shear strength.

The aim of the tests was to investigate the influence of concrete strength, the eccentricity of the column and the use of shear reinforcement in flat slabs on punching shear. The research specimens are 8 units of flat slabs. Flat slab size 1400 x 1400 mm2 with thickness of 120 mm. Flat slabs were connected with circular column with dimension 225 mm  of diameter and 200 mm of height. Flat slabs were made in to 2 variations of concrete strength, e.i. 30 MPa and 60 MPa, 2 variations of shear reinforcement, e.i. without shear reinforcement and with shear reinforcement and 2 variations of eccentricity that, e.i. without eccentricity and with eccentricity. Each treatment has 1 specimen. Each specimen has 6 cylinder specimens. Cylinder specimens used as a concrete strength control for main specimen (flat slab). The tests showed that the concrete strength had a strong influence on punching shear strength. This is shown by capacity increase of 42.78%; 54.00%; 46.59% and 0.02%. The value is ratio between the maximum load of the specimens with 60 MPa and 30 MPa at the same eccentricity and the same shear reinforcement. The eccentricity of column reduce the capacity of punching shear. This is shown by 3 specimens decrease in capacity of 3.70%; 36.75% and 7.30%. Only 1 specimen that increase in capacity of 9.27%. The value is ratio between the maximum load of the specimens with 40 mm eccentricity and 0 mm eccentricity at the same compressive strenght and the same shear reinforcement. The use of shear reinforcement does not always increase the punching shear capacity. There are 2 observations that increased capacity (52.07% and 65.37% at the centric load) and 2 observations decreased capacity (0.12% and 4.92% at the eccentric load). The value is ratio between the maximum load on the specimens using shear reinforcement with the specimens that do not use shear reinforcement at the same compressive strenght and the same eccentricity.The use of shear reinforcement increase punching shear capacity of flat slab at the centric load condition. The use of shear reinforcement decrease punching shear capacity of flat slab at the eccentric load condition.

Abstract The main reasons for strengthening flat slabs are the change of the use of a building, increase in the value of loads, degradation of the concrete cover layer, or insufficient reinforcement. This paper is focused on the assessment of punching shear capacity of the strengthened flat slabs without shear reinforcement. One of the possibilities how to enhance punching shear capacity is the addition of reinforced concrete topping. The main goal of this paper is to compare the possibilities for calculation of the increase in the punching shear capacity by investigation of the influence of different thicknesses of concrete toppings and different reinforcement ratio. A reference specimen is represented by a fragment of a flat slab with the thickness of h = 200 mm supported by circular column with the diameter of 250 mm. Three different thicknesses (50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm) of concrete toppings were considered together with three different reinforcement ratios for each thickness of concrete overlay. Theoretical predictions of the punching shear resistance of flat slabs were evaluated by design guidelines according to the relevant standards: Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1), Model Code 2010 and draft of the second generation of Eurocode 2 (prEN 1992-1-1). The differences in the influence of reinforcement ratio are significant. In Model Code 2010 the reinforcement ratio in concrete topping was considered in equation of moment of resistance. This is unlike in both of the mentioned Eurocodes, where the reinforcement ratio was assumed as a geometric average value of the original reinforcement ratio in the slab before strengthening and of the reinforcement ratio of concrete topping. All the predicted theoretical calculations are based on the perfect connection and bond between the original and new layer of concrete. These predictions should be verified by experimental investigation, which is going to be prepared shortly. By the additional increase in the thickness of concrete topping or in the amount of added reinforcement the attention should be payed to the limitation of the punching shear resistance by the value of the maximum punching shear resistance in the compression concrete strut.
