Reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs are commonly introduced in medium-rise buildings
because of their constructional and architectural benefits. However, the tensile brittleness of …

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 …

In this paper, for the first time, the binary/ternary hybrid fiber and/or shear stud reinforcement
as a measure was used to improve the punching performance of flat-slab systems by …

Post-tensioned slab systems serve as an effective method to enhance the progressive
collapse resistance of concrete flat plate structures by significantly improving the punching …

This paper presents a numerical study of a blast-resistant design of reinforced concrete
panels with a novel auxetic reinforcement layout inspired by auxetic materials, which have a …

This study presents a data-driven model for identifying failure modes (FMs) and predicting
the corresponding punching shear resistance of slab-column connections with shear …

Using data-driven models, this study identifies failure modes (FM) in two-way flat slabs
without shear reinforcements and predicts the corresponding punching shear strength …

Concrete flat plate structures are exposed to the risk of progressive collapse, which is
normally triggered by an initial failure at a single slab-column joint (SCJ). Using post …

This study aims to analyze the essential effects of creating apertures and holes (necessary
for electrical and mechanical installations) on the mechanical behavior of flat slabs under …

In order to improve the anti-punching shear performance of slab-column joints and thus
promote its engineering application, the effects of different arrangement forms, shapes and …
