Abstract

Flat slabs are concrete plates propped on column, without the existence of beams. Punching shear failure is a local mechanism, that arises when a concentrated load is applied to a small area of the slab. This abrupt failure hence reduces the load-bearing capacity of the slab and can potentially results in the progressive collapse of the entire structure. To enhance the performance of flat slab against failure due to punching and deflection, additional reinforcement should be provided in the column region. This study focuses on strengthening of flat slab by Embedded Through Section (ETS) to overcome the punching shear failure. Objective is the strength analysis of flat slab column connection by imparting different cases. The complete analytical model has been carried out using non-linear static analysis in ANSYS Software.
