The development of mechanical models relating the state of strains and the resistance of reinforced concrete structures has become a trend in the last decades. These types of models are referred to as strain-based approaches. Since strain-based approaches ...

The use of punching shear reinforcement is currently considered as one of the most convenient practices to enhance the punching shear strength and deformation capacity of slab-column connections in flat slabs. Intensive research has been performed in the l ...

The revision of a code is a long-term project that shall fulfil several aims, comprising the enhancement of the ease-of-use and incorporating updated state-of-the-art. With respect to the revision of Eurocode 2 concerning the punching shear provisions, thi ...

In 1960, Kinnunen and Nylander presented a mechanical approach for calculating the punching resistance of slab-column connections. That approach accounted for the response of a slab sector and considered failure to occur on the basis of the strains develop ...
