Abstract: A theoretical model is proposed for analyzing the punching resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs with shear reinforcement for concentric loading. Kinnunen and Nylander's and Shehata's treatments of slabs without ...

Abstract: An experimental test program has provided the basis for the mechanical model presented here to estimate the punching resistance of axisymmetric reinforced concrete slabs subjected to concentrated loads or reactions. The ...
