Abstract
At times, due to change in design, replace in the construction design, function and general mistakes, it led to heavier or additional loads. These reason caused a brittle failure known as a punching shear of flat plates may be occur under static or dynamics load. Many works have been carried the objectives of punching shear strength presence flat slabs and the behavior of repaired flat plates damaged due to punching shear. In addition to increase thickness of slab, increase dimension of column, there are many technics focuses on slab column connection strengthened with varies way such as carbon fiber reinforced polymer, steel stiffeners, steel angle and steel collar with a view to enhancement, the punching shear strength of flat slab appears. This paper shows comparison between the slabs strengthening with these ways.
