Columns Cross-Section Shape Effect on Punching Shear in Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs by Mohammed Oleiwi

“…ETABS 2016 software was adopted for modeling and analysis to identify the optimum column shape leading to minimizing punching shear. Although the cross-section area and the reinforcement area of the columns were fixed while changing the models’ column shapes, it was found, in both buildings, that hexagonal columns performed better than others under punching shear and provided the lowest punching shear ratio. …”
