Punching shear repairing of two-way solid slab subjected to high temperature using CFRP rope considering different configurations by Ahmed M. Ashteyat, Ala’ Taleb Obaidat, Ibrahim Al Hazmi, Ahmad Al-Khreisat

“…However, the necessity for punching shear reinforcement arises due to factors such as design deficiencies, fire exposure, non-compliance with updated codes, or increased vertical loading. This study examines the behavior of nine two-way slabs (1050 × 1050 × 70 mm) supported by steel plate columns (150 × 150 × 50 mm). …”
