Abstract
The characteristics of slab-column connections transferring shear and moment simultaneously were experimentally investigated. Five slab-column specimens were tested under combination of repeated lateral load simulating earthquakes and virtical load. Major variables were shear stress level due to virtical load and tensile reinforcement ratio of top bars. Based on the test results, cracking patterns and failure modes, load-deflection relations, effective width of slabs, deflection mode of slabs, distributions of flexural moment at critical section, ultimate shear strengths were described with tables and figures. Fathermore, α values were calculated from measured flexural moment at critical section and moment transferred by torsion was discussed.
