Abstract: | Design criteria of slab-column connections in the ACI Building Code [2011] were mostly developed from experimental results of interior connections. When dealing with corner slab-column connections, supplementary documents published by ACI Committee 352 and Committee 421 provide better explanations than the ACI Building Code [2011] and become useful references for practical engineers. However, different design values can be obtained using approaches recommended by different documents. In this article, a summary of this issue is presented. Among several design parameters discussed in this article, bi-axial moment, gravity shear ratio and column rectangularity have more significant effect to enlarge the discrepancy. |
