The results of support zone thick concrete slabs experimental investigation are presented in the paper. The experimental program consisted of 4 square reinforced concrete flat models to 1:2 scale made of the same concrete with the same dimensions and the same flexural reinforcement. The aim of tests was proved the influence of different transverse reinforcement types on punching shear load capacity. One of the models was a comparative slab made without transverse reinforcement. In the other slabs three types of transverse reinforcement were used: typical stirrups enclosing flexure reinforcement, stirrups situated between flexure reinforcement and ladders. The test results show a few percent difference in load capacity between models with transverse reinforcement, the most effective were typical stirrups enclosing the main reinforcement.

The paper discusses the issue of load capacity of flat plates with transverse reinforcement situated between the longitudinal reinforcement. Using this types of reinforcement is much more convenient from the installation point of view, however, it does not guarantee complete embedment, as efficient as traditional stirrups that comprise longitudinal reinforcement in compression and the tension zone. The transverse rods do not comprise the main reinforcement, so their slide out of the concrete slabs or cracks parallel to the plane of the longitudinal reinforcement and delamination of the slab can occur. The different types of transverse reinforcement were presented: system consisting of  ready-made bolts, reinforcement baskets or ladders. Experimental results of plates with  these types of reinforcement are presented. The analysis of effectiveness of reinforcement anchorage indicates that transverse bolts can be used to increase the punching shear load capacity of the plates. The resulting capacity was only of about 20% lower than result elements with complete embedment Experimental results were similar to the theoretical capacity resulting from the consideration by Eurocode 2.

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.

The shear punching of the reinforced concrete slabs is a complex process occurring when considerable force is concentrated on the relatively small area of a column-slab connection. An incorrect assessment of load capacity of slab under the punching shear may lead to an accident. One of the most significant factors affecting the slab capacity is longitudinal reinforcement. In this article much attention is given to the analysis of the longitudinal rebar impact on the maximum loading capacity of reinforced concrete slabs without transverse reinforcement affected by punching shear force using the finite element method. The results obtained via the finite element simulation are compared with laboratory tests and manual calculations carried-out using various methods represented in different national building Codes of practice.

Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) have been introduced to expedite construction and increase the confinement of concrete by the steel tube. While changing the confinement level through the use of expansive additives (EAs) will have an impact on the performance of CFSTs, limited information is available on the behavior of expansive concrete-filled steel tubular (ECFST) columns. The objective of this study is thus twofold: (i) to experimentally assess the behavior of axially loaded ECFSTs, and (ii) to investigate the correlation between the test results and those obtained from prediction approaches. The experimental program of this study consists of testing four 1500 mm CFST/ECFST columns with 153.6 mm outer diameter and 3 mm thickness. The ECFST specimens are divided into two subgroups with 0% and 12% EA dosage and two concrete mixtures, 16 and 37 MPa. The results indicate that the latter is the most promising mixture since it results in a significant enhancement of 64% in the axial load capacity of ECFST columns compare with CFSTs. The study also recommends employing specific confined concrete models with the existing code prediction approaches to arrive at the best correlation with test results.

The punching shear behavior of thick reinforced concrete slabs was analyzed in this paper by using strut-and-tie model (S-T). Calculating procedures were compared to our own experimental test results. The analyzed elements were subjected to symmetric loading and without shear reinforcement.

Proper design of transverse reinforcement in the RC column is needed to maintain its ability to deform under axial and shear load safely. Even though mandatory building codes for transverse support of the RC column exist, shear failure was still found in the last high earthquake in Pidie, Aceh, in 2016. Therefore, as an attempt to improve RC column strength and elasticity, the effect of transverse reinforcement configuration was evaluated experimentally to a column subjected to an axial and shear load. The experiment was conducted by using four-column specimens with a cross-section 200 x 200 mm. Four types of transverse reinforcement configurations were applied in each column. The test was carried out by loading an axial load always and shear load gradually until its failure. The test results show that the configuration of transverse reinforcement has a significant effect of maintaining column stiffness, which was subjected to compressive axial load and shear load. Furthermore, the arrangement of transverse reinforcement influences the compressive strength significantly and enhance the concrete shear capacity of a column due to its confinement effect.

Extensive experimental investigations into the behavior of reinforcement concrete and steel frames with infill have been conducted worldwide. However, there are very few systematically created and publicly available databases on infilled frame experiments. This article assembles a database of 264 experiments on single-story infilled frames, which includes specimens with different types of frames and panels. It has been utilized by the authors (in separate studies) to develop (1) empirical equations for modeling the infill panels as equivalent struts and (2) machine learning models for failure mode classification. The intent is for the database to be augmented and further used in various other applications in studying the seismic behavior of masonry-infilled frames.
