Abstract

The paper presents results from an extensive testing programme involving a total of 30 reinforced concrete (R/C) slabs with and without shear reinforcement, subjected to a concentrated load in the middle. Shear reinforcement consists of either bent-up bars or closed stirrups. Measured punching shear strengths were compared with strengths predicted from two major design codes (the American, ACI 318, and the European, Eurocode
