Structural accidents due to punching shear failures have been reported in flat slab buildings. Design recommendations presented by codes can lead to entirely different punching shear resistance ...

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 ...

This article presents a study on the reliability of internal column-slab connection under punching, designed according to the Brazilian Standard NBR 6118:2014. The evaluation of reliability was made ...

Biaxial voided slabs represent a revolutionary approach in modern construction, combining reductions in self‐weight with maintained structural integrity. By incorporating optimally shaped cavities ...
