Slim floors without the risk of punching failure

Common solutions to prevent punching failure in slim floors – such as arrangement of prop head reinforcements or increased slab thickness, column dimensions, concrete quality, or grade of reinforcement – are not economical and usually do not provide the required collapse-load increase. In addition, they negatively impact usable storey heights and hamper unlimited use of the construction.
