Punching Shear Design

The design to prevent punching shear failure proceeds as:

1. Check if the concrete is strong enough alone;
2. If not, check if the amount of reinforcement is reasonable;
3. Design reinforcement if reasonable, if not, change form of structure.

✓Changing the form of structure includes deepening the slab, making the column larger, introducing drop panels or flared column heads.
