Prediction of Punching Shear Capacity of Biaxial Voided Slab
Abstract: Biaxial voided slab systems are advantageous due to their reduced self-weight, up to 50 % in comparison with the conventional reinforced concrete solid slab. The reduction in the concrete cross sectional area reduces the shear capacity up to about 40 %. The prediction of punching shear capacity in voided slab is not direct unlike in solid slab. This is because the presence of voids alters the critical failure section and …
