Shear capacity of RC slabs under concentrated loads

In the future, the construction industry will have to resort to alternative building materials owing to the high carbon emissions associated with the cement production process. Using non-corrosive...

Point-supported slabs – flat slabs – allow for an efficient and variable room design and thus sustainable use of buildings. Due to the concentrated load application and the associated risk of...

Carbon concrete is becoming increasingly important, especially for pedestrian and bicycle bridges. The corrosion resistance and high tensile strength of the reinforcement allow for reduced component...

A significant amount of the used concrete volume is applied to slab structures where shear design is often determinative of the dimensioning. Since applying shear reinforcement to slabs is elaborate,...

Punching shear verification is often the most relevant verification in the design of flat slabs due to the bending and shear stresses occurring above the concentrated supports. In addition,...
