Punching

Punching shear calculation according to NEN-EN 1992-1-1.

Punching

Features

  • Punching shear verification at column-slab connections
  • Calculation of critical perimeter
  • Reinforcement requirements
  • Unity check output

Input

Punching input

FieldDescription
ShapeRectangular or circular column cross-section
PositionThe position of the column: in the middle of the slab, at a slab edge, or at a corner. When placed at an edge or a corner the distances are dimensioned, and you can change them graphically
Concrete strength classChoice of the concrete strength class
Reinforcing steel gradeChoice of the reinforcing steel grade
Longitudinal reinforcement in y-directionThe top reinforcement in the slab in the y-direction
Longitudinal reinforcement in z-directionThe top reinforcement in the slab in the z-direction
First layerSetting which top reinforcement in the slab lies in the first layer
CoverCover on the outermost top reinforcement in the slab, in mm
Angle of punching shear reinforcementAngle in degrees between the punching shear reinforcement and the plane of the slab
VEdDesign value of the punching force
qEdDesign value of the load on the slab. The effective punching force is reduced by this load, calculated over the area of the perimeter
Eccentricity eyEccentricity in mm in the y-direction of the punching force VEd. You can also change this value graphically, the same way you change dimension lines. This lets you take moments from the column into account on the slab
Eccentricity ezEccentricity in mm in the z-direction of the punching force VEd. You can also change this value graphically, the same way you change dimension lines
