Abstract:Extensive tests presented earlier have established the effectiveness of stud-shear reinforcement in increasing the punching-shear strength and ductility of slab-column connections transferring axial force V and bending moment M. The shear reinforcement is composed of vertical rods mechanically anchored at their top and bottom ends. This paper presents rules to design and detail stud-shear reinforcement in accordance with the 1989 ACI Building Code (ACI 318-89). Three numerical examples illustrate the design of shear studs and their distribution in slabs in the vicinity of the interior, edge, and corner columns transferring V and M. Because of effective anchorage, design rules that reduce the amount of shear reinforcement are suggested and applied. Rules for the design according to the Canadian standard CAN3-A23.3-M84 are also given.
