1. Punching shear in concrete flat slabs supported on slender edge steel columns
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Punching shear is a failure mechanism caused by concentrated loads, creating a crack pattern that resembles a cone shape or piece of pie starting from the top surface of the slab and prolongs downwards. When the total shear force is greater than the shear resistance of the slab, it may eventually lead to punching shear failure. READ MORE

2. The effect of pre-stressing location on punching shear capacity of concrete flat slabs
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Implementing pre-stressing cables is a viable option aiming at controlling deformation and cracking of concrete flat slabs in serviceability limit state. The pre-stressing cables also contribute to punching shear capacity of the slab when they are located in vicinity of the column. READ MORE

3. Non-Linear Assessment of a Concrete Bridge Slab Loaded to Failure
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : This thesis covers an investigation regarding the failure in the bridge slab of Gruvvägsbron, which was the result of the full scale test that the bridge was subjected to prior to demolition. Using the non-linear finite element software ATENA 3D, a model of the bridge was assembled, with the purpose to attempt to reenact the test procedure and realistically capture the failure load and behaviour.

4. Punching Shear Capacity of Fibre Reinforced Concrete Slabs with Conventional Reinforcement : Computational analysis of punching models
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : Steel fibre reinforced concrete is not a novel concept, it has been around since the mid-1900s, but despite its great success in shotcrete-reinforced rock walls and industrial floors it has not made any impact on either beams or elevated slab. Apparently, the absence of standards is the main reason. READ MORE
