The current design provisions on the punching shear strength ofreinforced concrete slabs of the ACI Code and the BS Code are based onempirical formulas. Based on the strut-and-tie model, this study proposesa simplified method to predict the punching shear strength of reinforcedconcrete slabs. The precision of the analytical method was further gaugedby the available experimental data. The comparison shows that the ACICode, the BS Code and the proposed simplified method can all accuratelypredict the punching shear strength of reinforced concrete slabs. |
