AbstractThe experimental analysis of nine prestressed flat slab models under punching is described and the results are compared with the recommendations of EC2 and MC90. The tests were performed on specimens at a scale 1/3, prestressed with unbonded high strength steel. In the first set, the specimens (AR2 to AR5 and AR7) were only subjected to in-plane compression, to evaluate the effect of the in-plane forces on the punching resistance. The second set of tests (AR8 to AR11) intended to study the effect of the vertical component of the tendon forces near the column in the punching resistance. This work aims to improve the understanding of the behaviour of prestressed flat slabs under punching load and the evaluation of the punching resistance.

AbstractThe progressive collapse of structures generally results in the loss of human lives. Experience shows that flat slab structures are very sensitive to progressive collapse, which may cause serious accidents if special detailing is not provided. The post-punching behaviour of a column-supported slab is decisive in the progressive collapse development. This work presents the experimental research carried out to study the post-punching behaviour of prestressed concrete flat slabs. Six reduced-scale prestressed concrete flat slab models were tested. The tests were carried out in two different phases. In the first phase the models were loaded up to failure by punching. Afterwards, the models were loaded again to study the post-punching behaviour changes caused by the presence of unbonded, prestressed tendons and the influences of their distance to the column.
