fib Bulletin 81 deals with punching of slabs, which is a relevant issue in the design of reinforced concrete. Punching is one of the most frequent reasons for failure of concrete structures, which underlines the importance of this problem. Flat slabs are used in buildings, bridges and other structures. Punching may result in brittle failure, which requires that special attention be paid to the design of new structures and the assessment of existing ones. Punching and shear capacity of structures is often evaluated using empirical methods, which does not always provide a sufficient level of safety. This bulletin is a result of an international symposium where experts from fib and ACI met and exchanged their experience. The papers included in this bulletin provide new experimental evidence and a comprehensive review of analytical and numerical methods that are used to evaluate the structural performance of slabcolumn connections.
This bulletin provides a review of the performance of slabs under static, dynamic and seismic loading. The individual papers generally show the studied phenomena using experiments and analytical evaluation, which makes it possible to compare results obtained according to the European code (EC2), the ACI code and the international code, the fib Model Code for Concrete Structures (MC2010). Particular attention is paid to the so-called size effect (i.e. the nominal load carrying capacity of thicker slabs is lower than that of thin slabs). The arrangement of reinforcement is important for the residual strength after a local failure and robustness, which are instrumental to avoid the progressive collapse of the entire structure after a local failure. It is confirmed that the bottom reinforcement crossing the column is very beneficial to ensure sufficient residual strength and avoid progressive collapse. A paper dealing with the shear capacity of bridge slabs illustrates an extended strip model, which may be used for efficient assessment of bridge slabs under concentrated loads. This bulletin also presents new types of shear reinforcements and shows efficiency of distribution of classical shear reinforcing elements like headed studs. Some papers deal with retrofitting and strengthening of existing slabs. Post-installed shear reinforcing elements may be used for strengthening of existing structures.
This bulletin summarizes several phenomena that influence the performance of slabs sensitive to punching. It is a valuable summary of the state-of-the art knowledge for practicing engineers, academics and also for students. It is also important to appreciate that the opinions and experiences of American and European experts are summarised in one publication.
Finally, it is necessary to thank all authors, as well as the main organizers of the symposium (A. Muttoni convener of fib WP 2.2.3, and C. E. Ospina and D. Mitchell representing ACI committee 445) for their editing of this extraordinary document. Last but not least, many thanks to Laura Vidale for the preparation of the bulletin for publication.
