The ribbed slabs have been widely used in the buildings it has several advantages in its execution and performance. In order to get a good design of this type of slab is necessary ensure that the stresses are properly supported, mainly those considered critical, which can lead the structure to the collapse suddenly, as is the case of punching in connection wide beam-column or of the shear in the region of the ribbed. In order to evaluate the punching strength of the slab-column connection and the shear strength of the ribs were manufactured four reinforced concrete ribbed slabs, two slabs one-way and two slabs two-way. The flexural reinforcement rate was constant in all slabs. All slabs were square of side 2200 mm and thickness equal to 150 mm. The main variable in this study was the change in height of the wide beam. This variation has to evaluate the performance of the ribs, even when the limit of spacing between them is ensured. Also, check if the punching is a possibility of rupture in this case. The estimates in this step design were based on three different standards. These were ACI 318 (2008), Eurocode 2 (2004) and NBR 6118 (ABNT, 2014). Studies with ribbed slabs have shown that the estimates of design standards are conservative. In addition, this predictions may lead to inadequate results for resistance slabs. The experimental results of this series of tests were compared to the standard recommendations in order to assess the accuracy of these three standards, which refer to the ribbed slabs. Were also built computational models in order to verify that the behavior of slabs as the stress distribution both in connection wide beam-column range as the beam connection wide beam-ribbed. The results showed that the slabs connection wide beam-ribs must be treated in a careful manner due to the difference in stiffness between the solid area and the ribs.
