Abstract Two 1/2 scaled self-centering precast concrete (PC) frames with and without infill
walls were experimentally and numerically investigated under quasi-static pushdown …

Reinforced concrete slab-column structures, despite their advantages such as architectural
flexibility and easy construction, are susceptible to punching shear failure. In addition …

RC flat slabs are widely employed in medium-height buildings due to their constructional
and architectural advantages. However, due to the tensile brittleness of normal concrete, an …

The punching shear behavior of twenty simply supported RC flat slabs of mm 3) dimensions
was examined in this study where concentrated loading was applied using a 150 mm central …

To investigate the pre-and post-punching failure performances of flat slab-column joints with
drop panels and shear studs, static loading tests were conducted on three joint specimens …

Majority of progressive collapse incidents of concrete flat plate structures were caused by
slab overloading in the form of punching shear failure at a slab-column joint, which exhibit …

In concrete flat plate slab-column joints with drop panels, successive punching shear
failures often occur at the slab-drop panel interface and along the column perimeter. When …

Two full-scale test specimens, a reinforced concrete reference slab (denoted as S1) and a
polypropylene fibre (PPF) concrete slab (S2), with a PPF length of 3 mm and PPF dosage of …
