Punching shear
Punching shear
(OP)
Greetings,
I am curios on how is this topic in different codes discussed.
Lets say we have a flat slab where the columns are pinned, the area load is uniform and there is a point load on the slab that should be transferred into the column 1.
Shear and compression stresses are at the control perimeter not constant, on the side of point load are (at least!) doubled.
How do you deal with this situation, in the Eurocode (EC2 with German NA) is this pretty well described with calculating β-factor, but the method is practically often unusable...
With what force would you do punching shear calculation?
Mostly I would like to hear some (outside EC) experiences and ideas.
Thank you.
Thanx

RE: Punching shear
This is in Section 11.11.7.2 of ACI 318-11.
Do you have a copy of that?
