Abstract text:
Starting from the early 60s continuous studies have been made regarding punching of concrete flat slabs. The evolution of technology and calculus systems influenced this engineering branch. Nowadays is possible to account in structural analysis all the non-linear behaviour of reinforced and prestressed concrete and to get the most close structural response in comparison with the real behaviour. As a controversy matter, several tests and theories have been developed. Nowadays researchers try to find the most accurate and economic formula for punching. This paper purpose is to make a survey on punching classical model and related nonlinear concrete behaviour regarded to this issue.
Key Words:
punching; flat-slab-column connection; concrete behaviour; code design comparison.
