Over the past few years, punching shear has been in the forefront of both research teams and professional public due to a new approach to its verification according to Model Code 2010. From this topic, the task of flat slabs strengthening against punching shear has arisen. This problem, and in particular the problem of flat slabs strengthened by additional concrete column heads, is the focus of this paper. Structures are analysed using a 3D FEM models including material and geometric nonlinearity. The way of modelling is validated against experiments on non-strengthened flat slabs subjected to punching shear. At first, strengthening with a rigid connection at the interface between structures is considered and then, several different types of connection at the interface are evaluated. Finally, strengthening of structures with varying lengths of top flexural reinforcement in the slab is modelled while minimum anchorage length outside the additional column head is verified.

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.

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. The proposed method is based on a strut-and-tie model. Current methods of predicting the punching shear strength of flat slabs could be divided into these categories: models based on empirical equations, physical models, analytical methods and finite element methods. Most of the current codes in force would be best described as empirical formulations. Physical model for prediction of punching shear is described in Model Code 2010. Proposed method for flat slabs with shear reinforcement is based mainly on a strut-and-tie model and therefore could be considered as an analytical method.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, American code ACI 318 and Model Code 2010. The comparison consists of results of more than 98 experiments of punching shear on the flat slabs with shear reinforcement, gathered from publications from all around the world.

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.

Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has wide spectrum of advantages in tunnelling. Post-cracking behaviour of FRC wasn’t taken into account by Russian engineers while structural design led to underestimation of material abilities. New approach is based on fib Model Code 2010, which provides residual tensile strength Class of FRC. Research Center “FRC” (http://rcfrc.com/) carried out tests with specimens of different types of FRC, which supported by Russian Foundation for Basic Research. Research involved different specimens – plain concrete and FRC with macro-synthetic fibre of different dosage and types. The results showed the efficiency of each type of fibre. The Class of FRC was defined for each specimen series according to results.

Theoretical Results

Punching strength is a critical point in the design of flat slabs and due to the lack of a theoretical method capable of explaining this phenomenon, empirical formulations presented by codes of practice are still the most used method to check the bearing capacity of slab-column connections. This paper discusses relevant aspects of the development of flat slabs, the factors that influence the punching resistance of slabs without shear reinforcement and makes comparisons between the experimental results organized in a database with 74 slabs carefully selected with theoretical results using the recommendations of ACI 318, EUROCODE 2 and NBR 6118 and also through the Critical Shear Crack Theory, presented by Muttoni (2008) and incorporated the new fib Model Code (2010).

Abstract This article presents a study on the reliability of internal column-slab connection under punching, designed according to the Brazilian Standard NBR 6118:2014. The evaluation of reliability was made by comparing the reliability index β with the target reliability index recommended by the fib Model Code 2010. The reliability indexes were calculated through statistical analysis of the data obtained with numerical simulations using the Monte Carlo method, with Latin Hypercube sample, through ANSYS software. The results showed that, for most slabs, the indexes of reliability β presented satisfactory results. However, some of the tested slabs presented results below the assumed limits. Therefore, this article suggests that the Brazilian Standard NBR 6118:2014 is appropriate for most flat slabs without shear reinforcement.

Abstract Research in this paper presents a theoretical study of increasing in punching shear capacity of the strengthened flat slab by concrete overlay. The parametric study is based on comparison of three different relevant standards design models and presents results how Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1), Model Code 2010 and draft of second generation of Eurocode 2 (prEN 1992-1-1) take into account strengthening by concrete overlay. A reference specimen is represented by a fragment of a flat slab supported by circular column. Influence of concrete toppings depends on thickness and also on reinforcement ratio. In Eurocode 2 and new generation of Eurocode 2 the increase of punching shear resistance of the slab with concrete topping can be taken into account only by reinforcement ratio and thickness of the slab considering the perfect connection and bond between the original slab and new layer of concrete overlay. Model Code 2010 is based on Critical shear crack theory and the reinforcement ratio in concrete topping was considered in equation of moment of resistance and punching shear resistance is calculated by considering the rotation and deformation of the slab. Estimation of results by parametric study are compared by non-linear model from Atena software.

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.

The Moment

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.
