One-way vs. two-way shear (1)
Beam shear, one-way shear Punching shear, two-way shear
• Punching shear over perimeter• Beam shear over (effective) width
3
One-way vs. two-way shear (2)
• 3D representation of failure modes
4
Beam Shear Failure
• Since 1899 (Ritter)• 1955: collapse of warehouse
• Most experiments:• Beams
• Heavily reinforced
• Small size
• Slender (a/d ≥ 2,5)
• Basis for design codes

Punching Shear Failure
Categories of methods for punching shear
Shear stress Beam analogy
Strut and tie Plate theory / FEM
The nature of shear failure is still not fully understood!

Bond Model (1)
• Alexander and Simmonds, 1990
• For slabs with concentrated load in middle
8
Bond Model (2)
9
Modified Bond Model (1)
• Adapted for slabs with concentrated load close to support
• Geometry is governing as in experiments
• Determine factor that reduces capacity of “radial” strip
• Maximum load: based on sum capacity of 4 strips

Summary & Conclusions
• Slabs under concentrated loads
• Transition between one-way and two-
way shear
• Bond Model for concentric punching
shear
• Modified Bond Model improvement as
compared to Eurocode
