Punching shear is a critical problem in flat slabs directly supported at columns resulting in a
high-stress concentration area, increasing the probability of brittle punching shear failure …

Within the scope of this study, three different strengthening methods have been proposed to
increase the punching strength of reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs. These methods are a …

Flat slabs are widely used due to their advantages. However, punching collapse is a
situation that should not be ignored during the design as a risk in this type of slab. The …

Flat slab is a widely utilized structural system, especially in commercial, residential, and
parking garage structures. It has major advantages, including its architectural flexibility and …

Using internal continuity plates in box columns due to accessibility problems and
complicated detailing of connection was perceived as fraught with shortcomings and …

Rebars in reinforced concrete (RC) slab-column systems are susceptible to corrosion in
unfavorable environments, making slab-column joints (SCJs) more prone to punching shear …

The punching failure, which is an abruptly developing brittle failure mechanism, is one of the
most dangerous collapse mechanisms that can occur in beamless (flat) slabs. Therefore, it is …

The sandwich slab is a relatively new form of the structural component with the advantages
of high-speed erection and insulation function for precast diaphragm systems. Field static …

In this study, the punching shear behavior of footings under biaxial eccentric loads is
numerically investigated. Load eccentricities usually encountered in practice were primarily …

This paper investigates the structural behavior of openings in subway station floor slabs
through model experiments and finite element simulation. The study analyzes the effects of …
