• Shear span to depth ratio
• Comparison to EN 1992-1-1 and Regan’s method
• Conclusions
3Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Background
Design practice (1)
• Design: shear capacity of slabs• Flexural failure before shear failure
• Punching shear formulas
• Beam shear formulas over effective width
Beam shear, one-way shear Punching shear, two-way shear
4Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Background
Design practice (2)
• One-way shear: beam shear formulas
• Code formulas: empirical
• Most experiments:• Beams
• Heavily reinforced
• Slender (a/d ≥ 2,5)
• Small size
• Concentrated loadamount of shear experiments done

Background
Design practice (3)
45° load spreading 45° load spreading – French practice
6Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Background
Design practice (4)
• Effective width• Assume uniform stress
• Maximum stress over effective
width
• Load spreading 45° for design
7Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Background
Design practice (5)
• Lower bound: 2d
• Loads closer to support:• Smaller beff
• Smaller Vult
• In beams: direct load transfer• Larger Vult
8Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Background
Previous research
• Limited amount of experimental data available• Regan (1982):
• Tests at simple and continuous support
• Small slabs (1,6m x 1,2m x 0,1m): size effect?
• Conclusion:
• Increase in shear capacity with decrease in shear span
• More shear capacity at continuous support
• Small slabs: tests on larger scale needed
• Formula of Regan
• Subdivision of perimeter
• Different contributions to ultimate load
9Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Goals
• Assess shear capacity of slabs
under concentrated loads
• Determine effective width in
shear

13Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Results and discussion
Shear span to depth ratio (1)
• Decrease: smaller effective width
• Increase due to direct load transfer
• EC2: β = av/2d for 0,5d ≤ av ≤ 2d
• S3/S4 to S5/S6: capacity 2x
• β in MC 2010
Influence of the distance to the support
on the shear capacity of slabs?
14Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Results and discussion
Distance to support (2)
•Influence of distance to support on measured peak load
•Smaller increase than expected from EC2
•Different behavior for beams and slabs
15Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Results and discussion
Comparison to EC2 and Regan (1)
16Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Results and discussion
Comparison to EC2 and Regan (2)
• Eurocode: underestimates capacity slabs
• French national annex:• Higher strength for slabs under point load (redistribution)
• Better estimate
• Systematically low predictions for high strength concrete
• Regan’s formula:• Developed for shear in slabs under point load
• Based on punching shear perimeter
• Best prediction
Shear in slabs is not a fully one-way shear failure, a certain amount of two-way shear distribution is possible
17Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Conclusions (1)
• Shear span to depth ratio• Clear influence on capacity
• Smaller influence than for
beams
• Suggest different behavior
• French National Annex• Better results
• Unsafe for high strength
concrete
• Regan: Best design tool S4T2 Dominant shear crack
18Shear in reinforced concrete slabs – wheel loads close to support
Conclusions (2)
• Recommendations:• Moment distribution at support
• Higher minimum shear stress
for slabs
• Concentrated loads
• Transverse redistribution
• Direct load transfer
• Different behavior slabs vs.
beams

Key message
Slabs under concentrated
loads behave differently in
shear than beams
