Notes:
The purpose of this research was to study the response of slab-column connectionscontaining various types of shear reinforcement when subjected to the combination of gravitationaland lateral cyclic loads. The three test specimens were full-scale representations of exterior slabcolumnconnections of a prototype apartment building in Korea. The control specimen had no shearreinforcements, while the other specimens had CS-Bar and SS-Bar as shear reinforcements. Thecontrol specimen failed due to the punching shear around the slab-column connection at 4.0% drift.None of the specimens with shear reinforcement experienced punching shear failure up to 4.4%drift. The two types of slab shear reinforcements proved to be equally effective in resistingpunching shear failure of these connections subjected to relatively low levels of gravity load. Thepresence of shear reinforcements significantly increased the lateral load ductility of the connections.The test results showed that the strength and ductility of the specimens with SS-Bar and CS-Barwere improved by 23% and 15% compared to the specimen without shear reinforcements
