Abstract
The behavior of fibrous high-strength self-compacting concrete flat slabs in punching shear either with or without shear reinforcement is investigated experimentally and analytically in this research. Steel and basalt fibers were used in this study. A Finite-Element (FE) analysis is performed using the ANSYS program to simulate the experimental work. Experimental and FE results were highly compatible. The results were compared with various codes (ECP, ACI, and EC-2). The code provisions produced results not close to the test results of fibrous concrete. This research presented an updated empirical equation for the punching shear capacity for fibrous reinforced flat slabs.
