The scope of this paper is to investigate analytically and numerically the influence of shear cap size and stiffness on the distribution of shear forces in flat slabs in a slab–column-connections-reinforced concrete structure. The effect of support (shear cap) stiffness on the calculation of the length of the shear control perimeter according to the available methods is presented. Based on the analysis, the authors indicate in what range of support stiffness the corner concentrations become important in the calculation of the punching resistance. For shear caps with high flexibility (α1 ≤ 0.5), the concentration of internal forces in the corners does not occur. The authors compare the numerical results obtained from the calculation methods and indicate the correlations, which can be useful guidance for structural designers. In the case of large shear caps, the simplified MC2010 method gives a significantly lower value of the effective control perimeter length compared to more accurate methods. This paper is intended to provide scientists, civil engineers, and designers with guidelines on which factors influence punching shear load capacity of the slab–column connections with shear caps.

The scope of the paper is to propose a method for determining the size of shear caps in a slab–column-connections-reinforced concrete structure. Usually, shear heads are used to enhance slab–column connection, especially when the transverse reinforcement does not give the required punching shear load capacity. The dimensions of the shear head should provide the punching shear resistance of the connection inside and outside the enhanced region. The process of selecting the size of the shear head is iterative. The parametric analysis of the ACI 318 code and EC2 standard has the objective of indicating which control perimeter (inside or outside the shear head) has a decisive impact on the punching shear capacity of the connection. Based on the analysis, the authors propose methods for selecting the dimensions of the shear head with practical application examples. The paper is intended to provide scientists, civil engineers, and designers with guidelines to design the process of the slab–column connections with the shear caps.

Construction systems with recession in their ground plan along increasing height of a building are often used in current time. This lay-out is advantageous for the global stability of a building, which acts as a vertical cantilever with a widen socle. Attention must be paid with this type of global lay-out solution, because significant shear forces appear thanks to various types of grand plan. Usually buildings with massive elements, which can bear major of shear forces, don’t have any problem with the global vertical shear forces. Contrarily buildings with slight construction system such as flat slabs supported by columns could be unsafe designed if this effect is not taken account. There is no recommendation or exact approach to this problem in current standards and therefore it only depends on the designer’s approach and their experience. In the paper different types of approaches to the analysis of vertical shear forces and their distribution are presented. They are demonstrated on models with various levels of detailing. The scope of models starts at very simple linear model of whole structure and ends by models which take account of non-linear base supports and construction stages.

Abstract The paper describes experimental research of slab-column connections examined on specimen designed as a part of reinforced concrete structure with flat slabs. The aim of the research was to verify the efficiency of slab reinforcement concept against punching shear by increasing slab’s mechanical reinforcement ratio by applying additional external reinforcement in the form of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips. The capacity enhancement in comparison to unstrengthened slab obtained 36%.

Results of latest experiments have revealed that the maximum punching resistance defined from crushing of concrete struts at the perimeter of a column is an insufficient criterion for limitation of maximum shear forces at the vicinity of the columns. Therefore further limitation has been recommended by CEN TC250 SC2 and introduced in STN EN 1992-1-1/NA [1]. The paper will deal with the new requirements concerning the maximum punching shear resistance, based on the kmax factor and design of min flat slabs height.

Linear Shear

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.

Statically indeterminate frame, composed of beams and columns, is a widely used structure form in civil engineering. The frame carrying capacity under various actions is related to the absolute stiffness of frame components and relative beam-column line stiffness ratio. The matrix displacement method and programming based on MATLAB were employed in this study to calculate the internal forces and displacements of a 2-bay 2-story frame structure under the action of horizontal loads. The influence of the beam-column line stiffness ratio on the frame load capacity was discussed based on the calculated result. Furthermore some advises were provided about the reasonable beam-column line stiffness ratio for engineering design.

Punching Failure

Gravity and horizontal forces cause the transfer of vertical shear and moments between concrete flat slabs and their supporting columns. These forces can cause punching failure. Design equations for safety against punching given in the Canadian Standards Association and the American Concrete Institute codes are critically reviewed. It is shown that the equations give in some cases incorrect stresses which do not satisfy equilibrium. A modification is suggested which makes the equations applicable to all cases. The paper also discusses the codes' approach of sharing the resistance to transferred moment between resistances by flexure and by eccentricity of shear, using the coefficient γv. Comparisons are made with the result of finite element analyses. It is concluded that the code equations, with the suggested modification, are adequate, provided that appropriate values are used for the coefficient γv.
