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: A theoretical model is proposed to analyze the punching shear resistance in flat slabs of reinforced concrete in the presence of openings and stud-type shear reinforcement. Openings in flat slabs reduce resistance to ...
