This paper investigates the structural behaviour of RC flat slabs supported on rectangular interior columns and the influence of the loading conditions (one or two-way bending) on their punching shear strength. The punching shear strength of slabs at recta ...

Bent-up bars were extensively used as shear reinforcement in beams and slabs from the first R/C developments up to the 1970’s. Their use was justified by the fact that they allowed enhanced development of the tensile reinforcement at the same time they act ...

Punching shear of reinforced concrete flat slabs supported on columns is a failure mode in which the slab fractures around the column. This type of failure is sudden and can be catastrophic in nature. Punching shear generally governs the ultimate limit sta ...

Most analytical approaches and available test data for punching shear in flat slabs assume axis-symmetrical conditions, which seems realistic for representing slabs supported on columns equally spaced in both orthogonal directions. However, in practice, th ...

The provisions for punching shear around concentrated loads in the new Model Code 2010 (MC2010) have been updated, covering a large number of design cases such as slabs with and without transverse reinforcement, different column/slab geometries and prestre ...

Analytical solutions to problems of solids mechanics are useful to test the accuracy and the precision of the numerical approaches. Problems such as shear locking or boundary layer can be better understood with the help of analytical solutions. However, it ...
