Studies on slab-column connections supported on re-entrant corners are limited. Although design standards generally provide detailed guidelines for internal, edge, and corner connections, re-entrant ...

In an article recently published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the feasibility of using machine learning (ML) models to predict the punching shear capacity of ...

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

ABSTRACT: Punching shear failure of flat concrete slabs is a complex phenomenon with brittle failure mode, meaning sudden structural failure and rapid decrease of load carrying capacity. Due to these ...

The resilience of modern structures under seismic and lateral forces is highly dependent on the performance of slab‐column connections. These joints are critical for transferring loads effectively ...
