A review to punching shear capacty of normal and high performance fiber cementiouse composites

Abstract EN

The reaction of column to flat slmay cause what is known as “punching shear stresses” when the stress is normally concentrated within the perimeter around the loaded area.

In general, the reinforced concrete slare not designed for any shear failure due to the sudden nature of this type of failure.

Many solutions can be followed to overcome such issue like increasing the depth of slab and diameter of columns.

Increasing the slab thickness may add extensive dead loads and can breaks the economy justifications of this structural member.

On the other hand, increasing the diameter of any column may un accepted due to architectural purposes.

The high performance concrete is such type of concrete that illustrate high levels of mechanical performance “structural behavior as a consequence” if compared with normal concrete.

Due to that, the high performance concrete may give good alternative an exceeds the problem of punching as a result.

The basic aim of this study is to propose a brief review regarding this field of research.

However, this study is divided to three parts, the first is devoted to view a suitable background about the punching shear capacity of traditional concrete slThe second part is registered to view the past experience in reinforced concrete slpunching capacity and have steel fibers while the second part is devoted to present the state of art concerning the punching shear of high performance concrete slThe reaction of column to flat slmay cause what is known as “punching shear stresses” when the stress is normally concentrated within the perimeter around the loaded area.
