Effect of Reinforced Opening on Punching Shear of Flat Slab
Opening is inevitable in structural slab. Consequently, the punching shear capacity remarkably reduces, and becomes more crucial for Flat Slab. Subtracting the control perimeter, adding shear reinforcement, increasing slab thickness are the treatment method written in building design code on matter relating the opening within slab. The presenting thesis addresses the variation in punching shear…
