Shear and Punching Capacity Predictions for One-Way Slabs under Concentrated Loads Considering the Transition between Failure Mechanisms

Reinforced concrete one-way slabs under concentrated loads can develop different shear failure mechanisms: as wide beams in one-way shear, punching shear around the load or a mixed mode between them. Until now, most publications presented recommendations to assess the shear capacity considering only the one-way shear failure mechanism. This...
