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 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.

There are a number of benefits associated with two-way concrete flat slab construction for office buildings, parking garages and apartments - for example, reduced formwork, prompt erection, flexibility of partitions, and minimal increase in story heights. However, concrete flat slabs could be quite vulnerable to punching shear failure in the event of a fire. The objective of the present article is to provide a state of the art review of the existing research and the issues associated with concrete flat slabs in fire and elevated temperature. There are a number of experimental and analytical studies on the punching shear behavior of concrete flat slabs in ambient conditions, available in the literature. Based on these studies, it is found that punching shear capacity in ambient condition is affected by many factors, which may not remain constant during a fire exposure. Only a limited number of studies on concrete flat slabs for punching shear failure in fire are available. This paper reviews the available experimental and analytical studies, standards and codes to address the research gap in estimating of punching shear strength of concrete flat slab-column connections without shear reinforcement.

The unbalance moments at the edge connections of flat plate structures induced by lateral forces (i.e. an earthquake) may not always act in parallel directions of the building axes. Most research studied the unbalanced moments in one direction, a few of them in biaxial directions, and none of them in incline directions. This paper presents the results of a nonlinear finite element analysis on punching shear capacity at edge column-slab connections subjected to three directions of the unbalanced moments namely perpendicular, incline 45°, and parallel to the slab free edge in combination with the shear force. A 3-D numerical analysis of ten isolated edge column-plate connections was conducted by applying an appropriate element size, mesh, and calibrated material parameters of the concrete damage plasticity (CDP) model in ABAQUS. the connections were subjected to ten variations of the moment to shear (M/V) ratios. The results show that the punching shear capacity decreases exponentially for the unbalanced moment acting perpendicular and parallel to the slab free edge, and linearly for unbalanced moment incline 45° as the increase in M/V ratio. The M-V interaction at the edge connections depends on the unbalanced moment directions which are slightly different from the ACI 318 code.

Reinforced concrete flat slabs or flat plates continue to be among the most popular floor systems due to speed of construction and inherent flexibility it offers in relation to locations of partitions. However, flat slab/plate floor systems that are deficient in two-way shear strength are susceptible to brittle failure at a slab–column junction that may propagate and lead to progressive collapse of a larger segment of the structural system. Deficiency in two-way shear strength may be due to design/construction errors, material under-strength, or overload. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates in the form of sheets and/or strips are used in structurally deficient flat slab systems to enhance the two-way shear capacity, flexural strength, stiffness, and ductility. Glass FRP (GFRP) has been used successfully but carbon FRP (CFRP) sheets/strips/laminates are more commonly used as a practical alternative to other expensive and/or challenging methods such column enlargement. This article reviews the literature on the methodology and effectiveness of utilizing FRP sheets/strips and laminates at the column/slab intersection to enhance punching shear strength of flat slabs.

Beberapa saat kebelakang ini, pertumbuhan pembangunan infrastruktur dan gedung sangatlah tinggi. Berbagai inovasi dan pembaharuan pun muncul dalam bidang konstruksi, salah satunya pelat lantai. Flat slab adalah salah satu contohnya. Flat slab sendiri adalah konstruksi struktur pelat beton bertulang yang tidak menggunakan elemen balok, dimana pelat langsung ditopang oleh kolom dimana dalam beberapa kondisi digunakan drop panel untuk menahan gaya yang timbul pada daerah sekitar kolom. Gaya yang timbul pada daerah kolom itu adalah gaya geser dua arah atau biasa disebut gaya geser pons (punching shear). Pada pembahasan kali ini, dilakukan analisis mencari besarnya nilai momen lentur dan gaya geser pons pada flat slab dengan menggunakan bantuan aplikasi Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Nilai momen lentur dan gaya geser dibandingkan antara flat slab tanpa penggunaan drop panel dan flat slab dengan penggunaan drop panel. Tujuan dari pembahasan kali ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan drop panel pada konstruksi flat slab terhadap nilai momen lentur dan geser pons yang terjadi. Metode yang digunakan adalah finite element method serta metode analisis teoritis berdasarkan SNI. Kesimpulan yang didapat, adalah penggunaan drop panel pada flat slab menurunkan gaya geser pons dan momen lentur di daerah lapangan pada struktur flat slab.


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.

The paper investigates the effect of various geometrical and material parameters on the bearing (punching shear) capacity of transversely prestressed concrete deck slabs by numerical methods. Experiments on a 1:2 scale model of such a bridge were carried out in the laboratory and a 3D nonlinear finite element (FE) model was developed in the finite element analysis software package TNO DIANA (2012) to study the structural behavior in punching shear. A comparison of the experimental and numerical ultimate loads show that the non-linear FE models can predict the load carrying capacity quite accurately with a standard deviation of 0.1 and the coefficient of variation of only 10%. The effect of varying the transverse prestressing level, the presence and size of the ducts, size of the loading plate and the concrete class is also described as part of the parametric study. It was observed that sufficient saving in cost could be made if calibrated numerical models are employed to investigate existing structures rather than doing expensive experimental studies.
