Design for Punching of Flat Slabs
Punching, which may be suffered by two-dimensional (2D) reinforced-concrete (RC) structural elements (such as flat slabs, plates, footings, etc.) in regions under the action of concentrated load, is widely considered to be a ‘shear’ (non-flexural) type of failure. As a result, the methods adopted by current codes of practice (such as, for example, those adopted by ACI318 [American Concrete Institute: Building code requirements for structural concrete (ACI 318-02) and commentary (ACI 318R-02), 2002] and EC2 [EN 1992-1: Eurocode 2: design of concrete structures—part 1–1: general rules and rules for buildings, 2004.]) for designing against punching are essentially those applied to the ‘shear’ design of RC beam-like elements with modifications that allow for characteristics of structural behaviour particular to punching and to the geometry of the relevant structural elements.
