Abstract
AbstractConcrete slabs are subjected to compressive forces due to prestressing or restraint conditions. Using prestressed concrete slabs for long spans is a top choice in many applications, particularly lightweight ones. However, the number of studies tackling the punching shear design of lightweight concrete slabs subjected to compressive forces is minimal. The purpose of this investigation is to assess the punching shear design of lightweight and normal-weight concrete slabs. The available punching shear testing for lightweight and normal-weight concrete slabs is compiled. The punching shear strength is calculated using selected design codes compared with the experimentally measured strength. Concluded remarks were outlined and discussed.KeywordsPunching shearLightweight concretePrestressing
