Abstract
The response of slab structures after initial failure is investigated in order to determine a means of preventing progressive collapse. Analytical models for predicting the post‐failure response of slabs are presented and the predictions are compared with experimental results. These analytical models along with an experimental investigation enabled the development of simple design and detailing guidelines for bottom slab reinforcement which is capable of hanging the slab from the columns after initial failures due to punching shear and flexure.Keywords
