- Additional information
- Slab-column connections are relatively easy and economical to build, making them one of the most common building styles. However a column's stress concentration can lead to a shear failure known as a 'punching shear'. The paper discusses the use of a novel reinforcement that enhances the connection's structural performance, even in a fire, without increasing the column size or the slab thickness. The new construction method would be more economical and greener, as it uses less concrete and therefore would reduce construction cost and carbon emissions.
