This paper presents an experimental investigation on the punching shear strength of reinforced concrete flat plate slabs with shearhead collars. Eight reinforced concrete slab specimens were casted and tested under static load test, the load was applied at the center of slab by 100x100 mm steel column. The effect of the shapes, diameter and number of stiffeners has been discovered for shearheads through studying its effect on the load-deflection behavior, ultimate capacity, cracking load, failure mode, stiffness, ductility and energy absorption of tested specimens. The experimental results indicates that using square shearhead had achieved a slight increase in punching shear strength about 3% over that circular shearhead using the same surface area. Also, utilize 550 mm shearhead diameter will contribute to increase the punching shear strength about 14.5%. The increase in the number of stiffeners in specimen (CS4) had reduced the ultimate punching shear capacity by 20.3% over reference specimen. The first crack was decreased from 12.5kN to 7.5kN, when increases the number of stiffeners from one to two. The cracking load was increased with the increase of the diameter of circular shearhead from 10kN to 15Kn in specimens of 336mm and 550mm respectively. The specimen with 336mm diameter and 30mm height circular shearhead achieved 427 kN.m energy absorption, it is higher than the energy absorption of reference specimen by 2.6%. Also, using two stiffeners improved the energy absorption by 110.2% higher than the specimen with one stiffener.

Section Evaluation

Most of current concrete design codes require that critical sections should be reduced in the presence of openings near columns to consider their effects on the punching shear strength of reinforced concrete flat-plate slabs. For example, ACI 318-11 stipulates that a part of the perimeter enclosed by two projection lines from the centroid of the column to the boundaries of the openings shall be considered ineffective. However, the direct application of this rule to practical cases may be rather complicated depending on the geometrical layout and shape of columns and openings. In this paper, simple mathematical formulations are proposed to evaluate the ineffective part of critical sections due to openings. This approach can be applied to the design of reinforced concrete flat-plate slabs based on ACI 318-11. A numerical algorithm is also developed to handle general cases where the ineffective parts of multiple openings overlap with each other.

To investigate progressive collapse behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) flat plate structures, a reliable and efficient numerical approach is developed in this study using spring connection modelling. This connection unit aims to simulate complicate punching shear behavior at critical regions surrounding the columns. Five springs are used as the connection elements: two for flexural and integrity steel bars and three for concrete contributions. The flexural and integrity steel bars embedded in the columns are modeled explicitly, which enables the model to present the structural behavior post punching shear failure. Bending and shear actions are represented by two concrete springs. The third concrete spring is assigned axial action property to restrain two end nodes of the connection on the model. In particular, the punching shear spring controls the connection unit when punching shear failure occurs. To apply the connection unit, the regions of slab-column connections are partitioned from the slab regions according to the critical shear surfaces. Then the connection unit links two corresponding nodes on the two edges formed from the partition. A physical experiment of a RC flat plate substructure under progressive collapse is simulated. Result comparison demonstrates that the numerical model has the capability to capture the structural behavior in progressive collapse. However, further improvement of the modelling technique is necessary to enhance numerical accuracy.

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.

In this study, the structural behavior of reinforced concrete flat plates shear reinforced with vertical grids made of a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) was experimentally evaluated. To examine the shear strength, experiments were performed on nine concrete slabs with different amounts and spacings of shear reinforcement. The test results indicated that the shear strength increased as the amount of shear reinforcement increased and as the spacing of the shear reinforcement decreased. The GFRP shear reinforcement changed the cracks and failure mode of the specimens from a brittle punching to flexure one. In addition, the experimental results are compared with a shear strength equation provided by different concrete design codes. This comparison demonstrates that all of the equations underestimate the shear strength of reinforced concrete flat plates shear reinforced with GFRP vertical grids. The shear strength of the equation by BS 8110 is able to calculate the punching shear strength reasonably for a concrete flat plate shear reinforced with GFRP vertical grids.
