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).

Optical Torque

We study the rotational motion of objects trapped in a focused laser beam (optical tweezers). Micrometer-sized flat slabs are fabricated using two-photon photopolymerization. These objects, trapped by linearly-polarized light, tend to align parallel to the polarization plane. This alignment effect is attributed to the polarization anisotropy resulting from the object shape and we present a simple electromagnetic approach to estimate the resulting optical torque. Micro-rotors of different sizes are studied experimentally. We characterize the behavior of micro-objects when the light polarization is rotated at constant speed. Our theoretical approach gives a good prediction of how the size of micro-objects affects their rotation efficiency.

Punching Failure

Gravity and horizontal forces cause the transfer of vertical shear and moments between concrete flat slabs and their supporting columns. These forces can cause punching failure. Design equations for safety against punching given in the Canadian Standards Association and the American Concrete Institute codes are critically reviewed. It is shown that the equations give in some cases incorrect stresses which do not satisfy equilibrium. A modification is suggested which makes the equations applicable to all cases. The paper also discusses the codes' approach of sharing the resistance to transferred moment between resistances by flexure and by eccentricity of shear, using the coefficient γv. Comparisons are made with the result of finite element analyses. It is concluded that the code equations, with the suggested modification, are adequate, provided that appropriate values are used for the coefficient γv. Key words: columns, connections, flat concrete plates, moments, punching shear, reinforced concrete, shear strength, slabs, structural design.
