Another interesting case in which following "the code" means not necessarily the sound and safe approach, and a reminder of the individual responsability of structural professionals to actively pursue structural safety.

How many other things are there to discover in the "Practice" of engineering?
Thanks for posting this Hokie.

There are at least two types of studrails currently available: single headed studs welded to a rail which serves as the bottom anchorage, and double headed studs with a rail which just spaces the studs. I couldn't see where the report said which type was tested.
I haven't used studrail reinforcement, but have thought about doing so. This report has major ramifications, and will be a worry to lots of people.

Here is the results in graphic form from the article posted by hokie, also shows the studs they were using.

This statement would support the theory that to much reinforcement has been used to justify the punching values. Punching shear is effected by the amount of reinforcement, this isn't stated in this particular code, but is covered in a few other codes, and punching shear articles.

On side says that:
1. Thousands of buildings have the ACI design integrated into the structure without any failures to date.
2. The tests that imply a problem were not designed with enough flexural reinforcement.
3. The code requires the stud rails to extend from column corners while the tests may have had rails not aligned with column corners.
4. The research doesn't directly show that there is a strength problem.
The other side says:
1. There may be lots of buildings with this implemented, but perhaps none have experienced a major seismic event where the problem would arise.
2. The code only shows rails from the corners in the commentary - the code itself does not require it.
Apparently a special committee has been established to look into the matter and advise ACI on how to proceed.
RE: Concerns about stud rail punching shear reinforcement
I saw some of the original German test results and discussed them with the Leonhardt suppervisor of the tests. They were baesd on a rail at the bottom and it was not a thin spacer. It was about 15-20mm deep. I am not sure of the actual layouts of studs that were tested but had alwaays understood that the concept of stud reinforcement was to be able to achieve a radial pattern. The early specifications I saw used this radial pattern. Obviously they have decided it is too hard to achieve on site so have gone to orthogonal patterns but that does not mean it is the best option!
They even did tests with continuous rails versus rails that stopped at the column edge. This had little effect on the basic punching shear strength but Collapse capacity increased by about a factor of 2 or more with continuous rails as they presumably acted as shear dowels. Interestingly the Canadian code now requires continuous bottom reinforcement through the column zone in the bottom of the slab in both directions, presumably as a response to this effect!
