Concrete screws as a post‐installed punching shear reinforcement
The strengthening of concrete structures is becoming more and more important. To achieve this need for strengthening measures, technically innovative, simple and economical systems for subsequent strengthening are required. At the University of Innsbruck, a system for subsequent strengthening of the punching shear zone through the installation of concrete screws has been developed. These screws are installed from the soffit side of the slab in vertically predrilled holes and are arranged concentrically around the support. This paper discusses the results of four test series, with a total of 21 specimens used to develop the system. The system, which can be very easily installed, demonstrates a significant increase of the shear punching capacity and a reduction in brittle failure modes. In addition, cyclic loading with typical levels of service load has no negative effect on the effectiveness of the system. Finally, the influence of the flexural reinforcement ratio on the effectiveness of the strengthening system was investigated.
