Strip Model (1)
• Alexander and Simmonds,
1990
• For slabs with
concentrated load in
middle
17
Strip Model (2)
18
Extended Strip Model (1)
• Adapted for slabs with concentrated
load close to support
• Geometry is governing as in
experiments
• Maximum load: based on sum capacity
of 4 strips
• Effect of torsion: presentation of
Daniel Valdivieso

Unequal loading of strips
• Static equilibrium
• v2,x reaches max before v1,x

21
Extended Strip Model: results
• S1T1:
• PESM = 663 kN
• Ptest/PESM = 1,44
• S4T1:
• PESM = 775 kN
• Ptest/PESM = 1,49
• Results similar for load in
middle and at edge
22
Summary & Conclusions
• Live loads: asymmetric loading
• Finite element models (3D solids): 2
direction asymmetric gives stress
concentrations
• Strip Model for concentric punching
shear: plastic design method
• Extended Strip Model performs well for
asymmetric loading situations
