Abstract:
Significant research efforts have been devoted to achieving high performance of slab – column connections subjected to lateral loading. Conventional solutions such as using stirrups and headed studs have been shown to work well. With the development of concrete materials with enhanced properties, new possibilities have arisen to employ solutions that are easy to apply and cause less congestion of reinforcement. Nine tests on flat slab specimens subjected to combined gravity and lateral loading are discussed. The main experimental variables were the flexural reinforcement ratio and the punching shear improvement method: none, headed studs, High-Strength Concrete or High-Performance-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete.
