Description

After the war in Kosovo is highlighted by the construction of reinforced concrete buildings with flat slabs with no beams and no enlarged column heads .These slabs are subjected to punching shear failure of slab-column connections. Load concentration around the column head generally leads to increased stresses which cannot be absorbed solely in thin slab thicknesses. The punching shear strength is an extremely significant parameter for the design of flat slabs. Solution of architecture often imposes the necessity of openings near the columns .In this paper will examine the effect of openings in different positions and with different dimensions in the punching shear strength. The calculations performed in the punching shear application are based on the standard EN 1992-1-1:2004.

Effect of the Opening in Flat Slabs on Punching Shear Resistance According to EN 1992-1-1:2004
