The assessment of the punching shear capacity for reinforced concrete slabs, carried out according to the regulatorydocuments of a number of countries, leads to significantly various results. At the same time, the results of thecalculated forecast may have great differences from the experimental data. A great influence on the accuracy of the resultsof the calculated forecast is exerted by the thickness of the examined slabs, as well as the value of longitudinal reinforcement.These parameters determine the features of the mechanisms of destruction of slabs in case of the punching shearmechanism, as indicated by individual interpretations of the results of experimental studies. In order to determine thefeatures of the punching shear mechanism of reinforced concrete slabs of various thicknesses, numerical studies of theprocess of cracking and destruction of slabs of different thicknesses have been performed. Differences in the mechanismof formation and development of cracks in thin and thick slabs are revealed. The paper shows that the behavior of thinand thick slabs has qualitative distinctions at the initial stages of formation and development of the cracks leading todestruction. The authors have also shown the difference between stress-strain state of thick and thin slabs before destruction.In conclusion, it was established that the influence of longitudinal reinforcement on the strength during punching inthick slabs is much less than in thin ones.When evaluating the punching shear capacity of reinforced concrete slabs, the regulatory documents of different countries give significantly different results. In this case, the calculation results may differ significantly from the experimental data. The deterioration of the thickness of the calculated slabs, as well as the value of the longitudinal reinforcement has a great influence on the accuracy of the calculation results. These parameters determine the features of the destruction mechanisms of slabs under punching. This fact is indicated by some interpretations of the results of experimental studies. In order to establish the peculiarities of the punching shear mechanism of reinforced concrete slabs of different thicknesses, a numerical investigation of the cracking and destruction of slabs of different thicknesses have been performed. Differences in the mechanism of formation and development of cracks in thin and thick slabs have been revealed. The paper shows that the behavior of thin and thick slabs has qualitative differences at the initial stages of the cracks formation and development that leads to destruction. The difference between stress-strain state of thick and thin slabs before breaking have been shown. It was found that the effect of longitudinal reinforcement on the punching shear strength in thick slabs is much less than in thin ones.

Owing to their high strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion resistance, and convenience in manufacture, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars can be used as a good alternative to steel bars to solve the durability issue in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, especially for seawater sea-sand concrete. In this paper, a theoretical model for predicting the punching shear strength of FRP-RC slabs is developed. In this model, the punching shear strength is determined by the intersection of capacity and demanding curve of FRP-RC slabs. The capacity curve is employed based on critical shear crack theory, while the demand curve is derived with the help of a simplified tri-linear moment-curvature relationship. After the validity of the proposed model is verified with experimental data collected from the literature, the effects of concrete strength, loading area, FRP reinforcement ratio, and effective depth of concrete slabs are evaluated quantitatively.

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.

An innovative solution to the corrosion problem is the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) as an alternative reinforcing material in concrete structures. In addition to the non corrodible nature of FRP materials, they also have a high strength-to-weight ratio that makes them attractive as reinforcement for concrete structures. Extensive research programs have been carried out to investigate the flexural behavior of concrete members reinforced with FRP reinforcement. On the other hand, the shear behavior of concrete members, especially punching shear of two-way slabs, reinforced with FRP bars has not yet been fully explored. The existing provisions for punching of slabs in most international design standards for reinforced concrete are based on tests of steel reinforced slabs. The elastic stiffness and bonding characteristics of FRP reinforcement are sufficiently different from those of steel to affect punching strength. In the present study, the equations of existing design standards for shear capacity of FRP reinforced concrete beams have been evaluated using the large database collected. The experimental punching shear strengths were compared with the available theoretical predictions, including the CSA S806 (CSA 2012), ACI-440.1R-15 (ACI 2015), BS 8110 (BSI 1997), JSCE (1997) a number of models proposed by some researchers in the literature. The existing design methods for FRP reinforced concrete slabs give conservative predictions for the specimens in the database. This paper also presents a simple yet improved model to calculate the punching shear capacity of FRPreinforced concrete slabs. The proposed model provides the accurate results in calculating the punching shear strengths of FRP-reinforced concrete slender slabs.
