Abstract:

Punching shear capacity is a key factor for governing the collapsed form of slabs. This fragile failure that occurs at the slab-column connection is called punching shear failure and has been of concern for the engineers. The most common practice in evaluating the punching strength of the concrete slabs is to use the empirical expressions available in different building design codes. The estimation of punching loads involves experimental setup which is time-consuming, uneconomical and also, more manpower and materials are required. The present study demonstrates the use of data mining techniques as a substitute of former to predict the punching loads on the variation of various parameters. In this study, various type of data mining techniques including Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Generalized Neural Network (GRNN) were applied to model and estimate the punching load of reinforced concrete slab–column connections. For the study, a data set consisting of 89 observations from available literature was analysed and randomly selected 62 observations were used for model development whereas the rest 27 were used to test the developed models. While the outcomes of ANN and GRNN model provides suitable estimation performance, the Gaussian membership based ANFIS model performed best in the determination of coefficient of correlation (Cc). Sensitivity study indicates that the parameter effective depth of slab (d) is the most influencing one for the estimation of punching load of reinforced concrete slab–column connections for this data set.

Numerical Analysis of Punching Shear Failure of Reinforced Concrete Slabs

Nearly no load bearing behaviour of reinforced concrete members allows such varied interpretations and complex discussions as the shear behaviour. Especially the three-dimensional problem of the punching shear failure of reinforced concrete members is internationally discussed. Nevertheless up to now, there is no unified design approach or even an overall accepted design model. Especially for l...

Punching shear strength of steel fibre reinforced concrete slabs

The ultimate strength of reinforced concrete slabs is frequently governed by the punching shear capacity, which may be increased with addition of traditional fitments such as reinforcing steel, headed studs or shear heads. In addition to these traditional methods of strengthening against punching, steel fibre reinforcement has proved to be an effective and viable alternative. The addition of fi...

Estimation of Evolution of Relative Humidity Distribution for Concrete Slabs

Realistic prediction of concrete shrinkage and creep requires the calculation of the distributions of relative humidity at various times. Although the distributions of the relative humidity can be computed by numerical methods from the differential equation for diffusion, simple prediction formulas can facilitate structural analysis. The purpose of this paper is to present a simple formula for ...
