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.

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.

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.

This research is an experimental study on full-scale interior slab-column connections of flat-plate. Three types of shear reinforcements were proposed to prevent brittle punching shear failure that could result in collapse of whole flat plate structures. A series of four flat plate specimens including a specimen without shear reinforcement and three specimens with the reinforcements was tested. The dimension of the slabs was 2620*2725*180mm and the specimens had a 600*800mm square column at the center of the slabs. The slabs were tested up to failure using monotonic vertical shear forces. The presences of the shear reinforcements substantially increased punching shear capacity and ductility of the interior slab-column connections.


This research targets to maximize the ductility and strength of the reinforced concrete flat slabs. However, to be efficient, the shear reinforcement must be anchored well in the tension and compression zones of the slab. The test results on the slab-column connection models which provided with shear reinforcement are introduced in this study. The benefits of using shear reinforcement are to reduce the slab thickness, and to minimize both the cost and the total weight of the structure. Twelve flat slab specimens have been tested to study the effect of different types of steel RFT on the punching shear of the flat slab. The experimental parameters include no shear reinforcement which study the advantage of using tension RFT ONLY against punching shear, no shear reinforcement which study the advantage of using compression RFT against punching shear, shear RFT (Vertical Stirrups) which study the effect of using shear RFT with constant distribution 0.5d, and a new distribution of shear stirrups which study the effect of using new different width & spacing of vertical stirrups. The twelve specimens were loaded with concentrated load at the mid span until failure. The general behavior of the deformation of the tested slab specimens was examined and recorded (cracking, deflection, and strain in both steel and concrete). A comparison established between the experimental and the numericaltheoretical results obtained from applying the punching shear strength formula given in design codes, and finite element modeling analysis; ABAQUS 2017 software package was used for this analysis. A total of six building codes were examined with regard to their provisions concerning the punching shear. A comparison had been made between the research test results and the codes equations to improve the methods of the analysis about the flat slabs. This study aimed to improve the punching shear capacity of flat slab which leads to more accurate results compared with the codes predictions. To achieve this aim, an experimental and numerical study was carried out for this investigation.
