Effect of Aggregate Size on Punching Strength of Reinforced Concrete Slabs

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper reports test results of flat slab cast from micro-concrete and normal concrete subjected to concentric punching shear. Although the punching shear failure mechanism of micro-concrete slabs was very similar to that of normal-concrete slabs, the punching shear capacity is reduced to about 73% due to the reduction in transferred shear stresses across shear cracks by aggregate interlock. Therefore, a shear retention factor of 0.7 is suggested to be applied in estimating the punching shear strength of micro-concrete slabs.
