Punching shear strength of reinforced concrete flat slabs subjected to fire on their tension sides

The effect of fire on punching strength of flat slabs is experimentally investigated. An experimental program, consisting of fourteen one-third scale specimens pre-exposed to fire on their tension side and tested under concentric punching, is carried out. The main investigated parameters are the dur...
