The study proposes a solution of constructing the inevitable rectangular opening in the
reinforced concrete (RC) slab upon the metallic damper for the RC beam-column frame to …

The arrangement of openings adjacent or near to slab-column connections is very common
practice in flat slab design due to a number of advantages for technical installations. Such …

Openings in flat slabs near to columns are often needed to supply the building with utilities.
The presence of these openings can lead to a decrease of the punching resistance which is …

Because of its advantages, reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs have become increasingly
popular in recent years. On the other hand, flat slabs have the problem of being vulnerable …

The punching failure, which is an abruptly developing brittle failure mechanism, is one of the
most dangerous collapse mechanisms that can occur in beamless (flat) slabs. Therefore, it is …

Accurately modeling the punching shear strength (PSS) of glass fiber-reinforced polymer
(GFRP) flat slab-column connections is critical for ensuring structural safety and integrity …

This paper investigates the structural behavior of openings in subway station floor slabs
through model experiments and finite element simulation. The study analyzes the effects of …

Аннотация Рассмотрен подход к оценке динамических эффектов для железобетонных
каркасов сооружений с безбалочными перекрытиями при комбинированных …

In this study, an experimental investigation was carried out to strengthen reinforced concrete
flat slabs with multiple openings against punching load via three different strengthening …

Reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs, a popular choice in construction due to their flexibility,
are susceptible to sudden and brittle punching shear failure. Existing design methods often …
