地震期间，在平板柱连接处传递的力矩会产生显著的剪应力，从而增加其脆性冲切破坏的脆弱性。本指南提供了设计具有足够延性的平板柱连接件的建议，以承受侧向位移的逆转，而不会发生冲切破坏或力矩传递能力的损失。本指南讨论了带或不带后张拉的钢筋混凝土平板。

During an earthquake, moments transferred at flat plate-column connections can produce significant shear stresses that increase their vulnerability to brittle punching shear failure. This guide provides recommendations for designing flat plate-column connections with sufficient ductility to withstand reversals of lateral drift without punching shear failure or loss of moment transfer capacity. Reinforced concrete flat plates with or without post-tensioning are discussed in this guide.
