Corner Column‐Slab Connections in Concrete Flat Plates
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 113, Issue 4
Abstract
The behavior of corner bays of flat plate floors was investigated in 11 tests of slabs on four columns. The performance of each specimen is described and related to the details of the slab‐column joints. Comparisons are made between the moment distributions measured in these and other tests and those derived from the equivalent frame analyses of the ACI and British Codes. Measured shear strengths are also compared with those calculated from the ACI code. It is shown that the ACI code, which makes allowance for the flexibility of the slab‐column connection, provides a good assessment of the column moments and generally provides estimates of the design shear stresses that range between safe and conservative.
