Abstract:

Punching shear is critical for two-way reinforced concrete flat slab. The unbalanced moment at the column-slab joint is transferred via slab moment and shear forces. ACI 318 provides an equation to evaluate the punching shear under the design load, without considering the effect from differential foundation settlement, which may govern he slab design. This paper studies a prestressed reinforced concrete slab under differential settlements using the finite element modeling (FEM) methodology. The methodology to extract data for punching shear check for the FEM is described and correlated with the corresponding code provisions. The study indicates that FE analysis results should be carefully reviewed and processed in order to perform accurate punching shear evaluation. Conclusions are made based on the case study to help engineers understand the punching shear behavior in prestressed and non-prestressed reinforced concrete slabs.
