Abstract
Flat slab buildings gain popularity due to their architectural and aesthetic advantages, including lower building height, expedited construction, simpler formwork, unobstructed ceiling height, and simpler reinforcement placement. With increasing high-rise building trends, flat slab construction is extensively used in RC structures worldwide. One of the most crucial factors to consider when designing RC flat slabs is punching. Especially when exposed to gravity and inverted cyclic load. Several variables influence the flat slab’s slab-column connection (SCC) punching behavior under cyclic loading. These factors are shear reinforcement, gravity, horizontal loading, opening presence, concrete compressive strength, loading area dimension, internal RFT type, and tension reinforcement proportion. This paper thoroughly analyzes the aforementioned experimental and finite element investigations. This paper reviews the literature on the punching shear (PS) mechanism in flat slabs (FS) and discusses various RFT types versus PS. In addition, to illustrate the potential of SMAs as internal reinforcement, repairing, strengthening of damaged beams/beam-column connections, moderating deflection, self-repairing concrete, and in seismic application.
期刊介绍:
The Asian Journal of Civil Engineering (Building and Housing) welcomes articles and research contributions on topics such as:- Structural analysis and design - Earthquake and structural engineering - New building materials and concrete technology - Sustainable building and energy conservation - Housing and planning - Construction management - Optimal design of structuresPlease note that the journal will not accept papers in the area of hydraulic or geotechnical engineering, traffic/transportation or road making engineering, and on materials relevant to non-structural buildings, e.g. materials for road making and asphalt. Although the journal will publish authoritative papers on theoretical and experimental research works and advanced applications, it may also feature, when appropriate: a) tutorial survey type papers reviewing some fields of civil engineering; b) short communications and research notes; c) book reviews and conference announcements.
