Resistência à punção de ligações laje-pilar armadas ao cisalhamento com estribos

Abstract

In order to avoid the punching failure and progressive collapse of flat slab structures, it is common to use shear reinforcement at slab-column connection of such structural systems. Stirrups consists in a sort of shear reinforcement composed by a single bar or by a group of bars which anchorage is provided mainly by stress transmitted to concrete by hooks or bents at their ends. Code formulations for punching shear strength calculation do not have rules for taking into account detailing properties of stirrups as variables. This fact makes needed the development of researches like the present work. This work analyses the performance of many types of stirrups to improve the punching shear strength of slab-column connections. Results obtained at experiments are compared to calculations based at recommendations of the codes NBR 6118 (ABNT, 2014), Eurocode 2 (CEN, 2010), ACI 318 (ACI, 2014) and Model Code 2010 (fib, 2013). Some classification criteria for stirrups are defined, where the main criterion corresponds to the mode as the stirrups are anchored by hooks or bends around the bars of main reinforcement at tension and compression zones. Based at the analysis, observations about the portions of load carried by shear reinforcement and about the influence of factors inherent to stirrups at the strength to punching shear failure inside the shear reinforcement zone. It is proposed a classification respect to effectiveness of shear reinforcement according to codes hypothesis Some need of stablish maximum limits to ratio between the portion of strength carried by shear reinforcement and the strength of a slab without shear reinforcement. Such limit depends on the efficiency of the anchorage of stirrups: the better the anchorage, the higher the increase of strength.
