This paper presents the results of an experimental research on the influence of prestressing on the punching shear strength of flat slabs. The tests refer to 13 geometrically identical specimens 250 mm thick that were loaded in order to investigate the inf ...

Flat slabs are commonly used in Switzerland but also in north America and in many European countries. Slab bridges are also a typical solution for crossing of motorways for example. In both cases, supporting a slab by columns is justified by the simplicity ...

A large number of medium and small span bridges in Switzerland and in other countries are slab bridges, often prestressed, multi-span and supported by columns. Punching in such structures is typically governing at failure. So far, the knowledge of the infl ...

Prestressing in flat slabs helps in controlling deformations and cracking under service loads and allows reducing the required slab thickness, leading thus to more slender structures and being therefore an economic solution for long spans. However, as a co ...

Previous researches on punching of post-tensioned slabs have shown a number of phenomena significantly influencing their strength and behaviour. However, no general agreement is yet found on a physical theory (either in codes of practice or in design model ...
