Finite element analysis is useful numerical technique to solve various structural problems. In this paper FEA model of slab column connection is model using ANSYS 16.0 . Punching shear failure is a major problem encountered in the design of reinforced concrete flat plates. The utilization of shear reinforcement via shear studs or other means has become a choice for improving the punching shear capacity .The obtained results indicate that, the proposed shear reinforcement system and drop panel has a positive effect in the enhancement of both the punching shear capacity and the strain energy of interior slab–column connection of both normal and high strength concrete. The general finite element software ANSYS can be used successfully to simulate the punching shearbehaviour of reinforced concrete flat plates.
