Comparative Study of Drop Panels, Stirrups, and Stud Rails for Enhancing Punching Shear Resistance under Seismic Actions

Problems with punching shear failure at slab-column joints have remained one of the major problems in RC flat slabs, especially where there is a combination of loadings from both gravity and lateral forces acting on the slab. This paper presents a numerical study of the use of drop panels and shear reinforcements in im...
