Punção em lajes lisas de concreto armado sem armadura de cisalhamento

O dimensionamento à punção é um ponto crítico no projeto de lajes lisas e devido à falta de um método teórico capaz de explicar este fenômeno a verificação da capacidade resistente de ligações laje-pilar é feita normalmente utilizando-se as recomendações de normas de projeto. Este artigo discute aspectos relevantes do surgimento do sistema de lajes lisas, dos fatores que influenciam na resistência à punção de lajes sem armadura de cisalhamento e faz comparações entre os resultados experimentais de um banco de dados com 74 lajes cuidadosamente selecionadas com resultados teóricos utilizando-se as recomendações das normas ACI 318, EUROCODE 2 e NBR 6118 e também através da Teoria da Fissura Crítica de Cisalhamento, apresentada por Muttoni (2008) e incorporada à nova norma fib Model Code (2010).Punching strength is a critical point in the design of flat slabs and due to the lack of a theoretical method capable of explaining this phenomenon, empirical formulations presented by codes of practice are still the most used method to check the bearing capacity of slab-column connections. This paper discusses relevant aspects of the development of flat slabs, the factors that influence the punching resistance of slabs without shear reinforcement and makes comparisons between the experimental results organized in a database with 74 slabs carefully selected with theoretical results using the recommendations of ACI 318, EUROCODE 2 and NBR 6118 and also through the Critical Shear Crack Theory, presented by Muttoni (2008) and incorporated the new fib Model Code (2010)

Punching strength of RC slabs with asymmetric point loads

This paper presents results of tests on 18 one-way reinforced concrete slabs under point loads having as main variable the transverse flexural reinforcement ratio, the loading position and the width of the slab. The response of the slabs is described and discussed in terms of deflections, strains of the concrete and of rebars, cracking pattern, failure modes and failure loads. Experimental results are also used to discuss and evaluate theoretical treatments presented by American Concrete Institute 318 (ACI, 2014) and Eurocode 2 (Comité Européen de Normalisation [CEN], 2005). All slabs failed by punching shear and results indicate that the recommendations presented by the codes are conservative, especially those related to the prediction of one-way shear resistance of reinforced concrete flat slabs.
