Punching shear strength of steel fibre reinforced lightweight concrete slabs

One of the problems in slab-column connections is the punching shear failure at over loads. Such failures are sudden and catastrophic, and are undesirable since they do not allow an overall yield mechanism to develop. Fibre reinforcement restrains cracking, and increases the tensile strength of conc...
