PERILAKU FLAT SLAB BETON GEOPOLIMER DENGAN DROP PANEL UNTUK MENAHAN PUNCHING SHEAR
Flat slab is a two-way concrete slab without beams that accelerates construction and reduces structural depth, but it is prone to brittle failure at the slab–column connection. This study aims to analyze the punching shear capacity of geopolymer concrete flat slabs with variations in drop panel thickness under monotonic loading. The analysis was carried out using ANSYS based on the finite element method. The results of the analysis include load–deflection curves to determine the yield point of the structure, ductility, stress contours, displacement contours, structural stiffness, energy absorption, and the influence of drop panel thickness on punching shear capacity. The simulation results show that the addition of drop panels increases the maximum load capacity from 252.5 kN (BG-0) to 375 kN across all drop panel variations, namely BG-DP1, BG-DP2, and BG-DP3, while simultaneously reducing the maximum deflection from 6.728 mm to 6.149 mm, 5.256 mm, and 4.830 mm for BG-DP1, BG-DP2, and BG-DP3, respectively. The stress contour distribution indicates that increasing the drop panel thickness expands the zone of concrete under compression around the column, reduces local damage, and enhances global stiffness as well as punching shear capacity, without increasing the load capacity beyond 375 kN.
