Punching Shear Resistance Of Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs Strengthened By Cfrp And Gfrp: A Review Of Literature, Hadi Al-Maliki, Ali Al-Balhawi, Asma Ali

Engineering and Technology Journal

Flat reinforced concrete (RC) slabs or plates are still widely used in buildings and are most popular in single or multiple story floor construction systems. This is due to the ease and speed of implementation as well as the continuous smoothness that is provided in relation to the locations of members. Flat slab systems have an inadequate shear strength in both directions. Thus, they are subjected to a shear failure at their intersections with columns, which results in the collapse of a larger part of the structure. Shear failure occurs due to many reasons including changing the functions of the …
