Experimental research was conducted to investigate the punching shear performance of flat plates. A large number of slab specimens of normal- and high-strength concrete were tested Under concentric and eccentric loads. The effects of flexural reinforcement and the use of steel fiber reinforcernent were investigated. Experimental expressions werw developed for the computation Of residual slab strength. Experimentally observed punching, shear capacities were compared with those from the provisions of Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standard CSA-A23.3-04. The results indicate that concrete strength plays all important role ill punching capacity and slab rigidity. Slabs with a higher percentage of flexural reinforcement show in increase ill Punching capacity. The use of steel fibers results in improved strength and stiffness while also enhancing the postpeak deformability and residual strength. The empirical expressions developed provide reasonably good predictions of residual Slab capacities. CSA-A23.3-04 expressions result ill conservation punching shear capacity predictions for concentrically loaded slabs and provide good agreement with the experimentally observed punching shear capacities for eccentrically loaded slabs.

Analytical formulation of maximum length limits of integral bridges on cohesive soils
Dicleli, Murat (Canadian Science Publishing, 2005-08-01)
This paper presents an analytical approach for predicting the length limits of integral bridges built on cohesive soils based on the flexural strength of the abutments and the low cycle fatigue performance of the steel H-piles at the abutments under cyclic thermal loading. First, H-piles that can accommodate large inelastic deformations are determined considering their local buckling instability. Then, a damage model is used to determine the maximum cyclic deformations that such piles can sustain. Next, non...
Closure to "Punching shear strengthening of reinforced concrete flat plates using carbon fiber reinforced polymers" by Baris Binici and Oguzhan Bayrak
Binici, Barış (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2006-03-01)
This research presents a strengthening technique for increasing punching shear resistance in reinforced concrete flat plates using carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs). This strengthening method employs CFRP strips in the vertical direction as shear reinforcement around the concentrated load area in a specified pattern. Experimental load deflection curves, strain measurements, and failure modes are reported for four strengthened specimens and two reference specimens tested for the research reported here...
Lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall systems
Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01)
The accuracy of the finite element method and strip method of analysis for calculating the lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is assessed by making comparisons with experimental findings. Comparisons revealed that while both methods provide acceptable accuracy, they also require the generation of sophisticated computer models. In this paper, two alternative methods are developed. The first one is an approximate hand method based on the deep beam theory. The classical deep beam theory...
Upgrading of slab-column connections using fiber reinforced polymers
Binici, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-01)
The results of an experimental program on upgrading of reinforced concrete slab-column connections subjected to monotonic shear and unbalanced moment transfer are presented in this study. Externally installed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) stirrups acting as shear reinforcement around the slab-column connection area were used with two patterns of CFRP arrangements. It was found that the proposed method resulted in punching shear capacity increases up to 60% relative to the specimen without any stren...
Mechanical behavior of CFRP confined low strength concretes subjected to simultaneous heating-cooling cycles and sustained loading
Erdil, B.; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-01-01)
This study aims to present the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) reinforced low strength cylindrical and prism concrete specimens under both heating-cooling cycles and sustained loading. Heating-cooling cycles range from -10 to 50A degrees C and the applied sustained load level is 40% of the ultimate strength of concrete. After 200 heating-cooling cycles and/or sustained load testing, specimens were tested to determine the mechanical behavior under uniaxial compression. The expe...
