| Title |
An Experimental Study of Interior Slab-Column Connections |
| Abstract |
Four interior slab-column subassemblages, modeled after a typical reinforced flat plate building, are tested under combined gravity and lateral loads. The testing program imcorperates three levels of gravity loads and investigates the effects of shear reinforcement on connection behavior. Also, the post failure behavior of slab-column connections is investigated. Finally, an existing strength model, which is suggested in ACI 318-89, is compared with experimental results. |
