Punching shear in flat slabs by strut and tie model

Abstract Research on behavior of flat slabs under punching shear, performed by Kinnunen, Regan and Muttoni influenced the main design recommendations. Meanwhile, studies about strut and tie model developed by Schlaich for beams, deep beams and corbels also influenced these design codes. This work aimed to adapt the strut and tie model for the punching shear resistance analysis in flat slabs. The punching shear resistance of 30 flat slabs verified through strut and tie model was compared to the one designed following Brazilian, American and European codes recommendation. Subsequently, this same model was validated by comparing the test results of 32 flat slabs. The strut and tie model results, when compared with the test results, showed a better average than those from codes, and the modified strut and tie model can become an alternative for punching shear strength prediction.
