ANALYSIS OF SHEAR STRESS CONCENTRATION FOR HOLLOW SLABS SUBJECTED TO SHEAR FORCE PERPENDICULAR TO THE AXIS OF THE HOLES : A study of shear stresses for hollow slabs (Part 1)

The purpose of this paper is to calculate shear stresses for the circular, elliptical and rectangular hollow slabs subjected to the shear force perpendicular to the axis of the holes, and to investigate stress concentration around the hole. Using that the hollow slabs are considered as continua of I-beams, in this paper the hollow slab is dealt as a cantilever of I-beam with a shear force applied at the end. Then stress function concerned with...
