Significance of Stud Rails
Stud Rails have been recognized with helping to offer punching shear solutions.
What is punching shear failure?
Punching shear failure is a type of shear failure that occurs in concrete slabs, particularly around concentrated loads like columns. It’s characterized by a cone-shaped crack that forms as the slab is “punched” by the load, potentially leading to a sudden collapse. This type of failure is a critical design consideration in flat slabs and other structures where concentrated loads are present. Punching Shear Failure can occur without adequate reinforcement.
Why are stud rails used?
Studs of a predetermined length and diameter, according to design specifications in compliance with IBC and UBC Structural Steel Welding Standards, are used to extend the column perimeter into the floor or foundation slab. This reduces the amount of reinforcing bar required in an area and column congestion, resulting in easier and faster installation, as well as lower cost.
