This study was carried out to assess the punching shear behavior of flat slabs considering
the use of various column shapes such as L, T, and Cruciform as support. The flat slab floor …

The excellent tensile strain-hardening behavior of ultra-high toughness cementitious
composite (UHTCC) makes it applicable for enhancing the punching shear performance of …

The outstanding mechanical properties of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete
(UHPFRC) can be used to improve the punching behavior of new slab-column connections …

When fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars are used in concrete structures that are exposed
to harsh environments, their service life is extended and the cost of their life cycle is reduced …

RC slab–column structures are widely used because of the advantages of small space
occupation for horizontal members, easy construction and good economy. However, slab …

This study deploys a hybrid Grey Wolf Optimizer Neural Network Model for predicting the
crack width in reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers …

Recent developments on high-performance double-hooked-end steel fibers have enhanced
the wide applications of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). This study presents the …

Recent studies have focused on investigating ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced
concrete (UHPFRC) developed under normal conditions, but the majority involved the use of …

Numerous studies have shown that incorporating fibers in concrete can improve its
mechanical properties, including tensile strength and toughness. Due to these outstanding …

Punching capacity is one of the main items in the design of both pre-stressed and non-pre-
stressed flat slabs. All international design codes include provisions to prevent this type of …
