Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Influence of Support Geometry on the Punching Shear Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Slabs
(University of Waterloo, 2023-06-23)Due to their many benefits including ease of construction, open floor plans and reduced cost reinforced concrete flat slabs are one of the most common structural systems. However, these systems, particularly flat slabs ... -
Punching Shear Retrofit Method Using Shear Bolts for Reinforced Concrete Slabs under Seismic Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-10)Reinforced concrete slab-column structures are widely used because of their practicality. However, this type of structures can be subject to punching-shear failure in the slab-column connections. Without shear reinforcement, ... -
Punching Shear Retrofit of Concrete Slab-Column Connections with GFRP Shear Bolts
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)Over the life span of a structure it may become necessary to retrofit, or strengthen certain components or elements. This may be due to construction errors, changes in use and occupancy, or changes due to material ... -
Shell-Based Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Slabs Subjected to Non-uniform Stress Distribution at Column Connection Regions
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-29)RC flat plates design provisions and mechanical models have been developed in a highly-idealized manner and, as a result, loosely represent the performance of real-world RC flat plates. Part of this inadequacy is due to ...
