1. OVERVIEW
This writing (i) defines the different conditions for punching shear calculation, (ii) presents the
relationships used for code check of each condition using ACI-318, (iii) presents a numerical
example for each condition, and (iv) demonstrates that the program ADAPT-PT correctly
recognizes each case, and accordingly. This writing also serves as a guideline for verification
of punching shear calculations reported by ADAPT-PT.
Depending on the location of a column with respect to the slab edges, four conditions are
identified. These are:
x Interior column, where the distance from each face of a column to the slab edge is at
least four times the slab thickness (columns 4 and 5 in Fig. 1-1);
x Edge column, where one face of a column in direction of design strip is closer to the
slab edge in the same direction by four times the slab thickness (column 2 in Fig. 1-1);
x Corner column, where two adjacent faces of a column are closer to their associated
slab edges by less than four times the slab thickness (column 1 in Fig. 1-1);
x End column, where a column face is closer to a slab edge normal to the design strip by
less than four times the slab thickness (Column 6 in Fig. 1-1)
Columns at re-entrant corners, such as column 3 in Fig. 1-1 are conservatively treated as
edge columns. Punching shear relationships of the code do not apply to columns that are
connected to one or more beams, nor do they apply to walls/supports. Adequacy of shear
transfer in such cases has to be established differently.
The calculations are presented by way of a numerical example. The geometry, material,
loading and other particulars of the structure selected for the numerical example are given
below and in Fig.1-1.

1.1. Relationships
The calculations are intended to determine whether or not a given slab-column connection
meets the minimum safety requirements of the code against failure. It is not the intent of the
calculations to find the “actual” condition of stress distribution at the column-slab location. The
relationships used are empirical. Using test results, the relationships are calibrated to deliver
safe designs.
Vu J u Muu c
vu (1-1)
Ac Jc
Where,
Vu = absolute value of the direct shear;
Mu = Unbalanced column moment;
Ac = area of concrete of assumed critical section;
Ȗv = fraction of the moment transferred by shear;
3
Technical Note
c = distance from centroidal axis of critical section to the perimeter of the critical
section in the direction of analysis; and
Jc = a geometry property of critical section, analogues to polar moment of inertia
of segments forming area Ac.
The first critical shear failure plane is assumed at a distance d/2 from the face of
support. Where “d” is the effective depth of the section.
Expressions for Ac, Jc, and Ȗv for all types of columns are given below.
FIGURE 1.1-1
Ac = 2d(c1 + c2 + 2d)
Jc = (c1 + d) *d3/6 + (c1 + d) 3*d/6 + d * (c2 + d) * (c1+ d) 2 /2
J V = 1- {1/[1+ (2/3) * ((c1 +d) / (c2 +d)) ½]}
Where c1 and c2 are the column dimensions with c1 perpendicular to the axis of
moment, and d is the effective depth.
4
Technical Note
Ac = d (2c1 + c2 + 2d)
cAB = (c1 + d/2 ) 2 / (2c1 + c2 + 2d )
cCD = (c1 + d/2 ) - cAB
Jc = (c1 + d/2) *d3/6 + 2d * (cAB3 + cCD3) / 3 + d * (c2 + d) cAB2
JV = 1- {1/[1+ (2/3) * ((c1 +d/2) / (c2 +d)) ½]}
Where c1 and c2 are the column dimensions with c1 parallel to the axis of moment, and
d is the effective depth.
Ac = d (2c2 + c1 + 2d)
Jc = (c1 + d) 3 * d /12 + (c1 + d) *d3/12 + d * (c2 + d/2) * (c1+ d) 2 /2
J V = 1- {1/[1+ (2/3) * ((c1 +d) / (c2 +d/2)) ½]}
Where c1 and c2 are the column dimensions with c1 perpendicular to the axis of
moment and d is the effective depth.
5
Technical Note
FIGURE 1.1-4
FIGURE 1.1- 5
Ac = d (c1 + c2 + d)
cAB = (c1 + d/2 ) 2 / 2 * (c1 + c2 + d )
cCD = (c1 + d/2 ) - cAB
Jc = (c1 + d/2) *d3/12 + d * (cAB3 + cCD3) / 3 + d * (c2 + d/2) cAB2
JV = 1- {1/[1+ (2/3) * ((c2 +d/2) / (c1 +d/2)) ½]}
Where c1 and c2 are the column dimensions with c1 parallel to the axis of moment and
d is the effective depth.
For corner columns (Fig. 1.1-6) the column reaction does not act at the centroid of the
critical section. The governing moment for the analysis of the design section is:
Mue = Mu – Vu* e
6
Technical Note
FIGURE 1.1- 6
For supports provided with drop caps, or drop panels , a minimum of two punching
shear checks are necessary. The first check is at distance “d1/2” from the face of the
column, where d1 is the effective depth of the thickened section (drop cap or drop
panel). The second check is at a distance d2/2 from the face of drop cap/panel, where
d2 is the slab thickness.
7
Technical Note
FIGURE 1.1-7
In order to keep the focus on punching shear stress calculation, the work starts by assuming
that the design values (Mu and Vu) for each column-slab condition are given. In the general
case, these are calculated from the analysis of a design strip, using the Equivalent Frame
Method, or Finite Elements. The values used in this writing are obtained from an ADAPT-PT
computer run. The hand calculations of the stresses are compared with the computer output
for verification. Excellent agreement is obtained.
2
The values in the parenthesis refer to the location in the program ADAPT-PT, where the information is given. For
example B10.3 refers to data Block 10.3.
8
Technical Note
Since top bars in one direction are placed above the top bars in the other
direction, the d value in this case is measured from the bottom of the slab to the
bottom of the top layer of rebar.
For corner columns (Fig. 1.2-2) the column reaction does not act at the centroid
of the critical section. The governing moment for the analysis of the design
section is:
Mue = Mu – Vu* e
Where “e” is the eccentricity between the centroid of the column and that of the
critical section being considered.
9
Technical Note
For the first support, if the column moment is clockwise, the moment due to
shear must be deducted from the column moment.
v. Allowable Stress
Column cross section is closer to a discontinuous edge than 4 times the slab
thickness. Therefore, according to ACI-318-02 section 11.12.2.2, allowable stress
shall be computed according to section 11.12.2.1.

Note that in the evaluation of allowable stresses, the term corresponding to the

Since top bars in one direction are placed above the top bars in the other
direction, the d2 value in this case is measured from the bottom of the slab to the
bottom of the top layer of rebar.

d = 7.625 in (194 mm)
Ep = ( Įs* d/ b0 )+ 1.5) = ( 40* 7.625 / 210.50)+ 1.5)
19
Technical Note
Note that in the evaluation of allowable stresses, the term corresponding to the
vertical component of tendon force (Vp) is conservatively disregarded.
Since the stress ratio in section#2 is larger than the stress ratio in section #1, the
section#2 governs and reported in the program.
Since top bars in one direction are placed above the top bars in the other
direction, the d value in this case is measured from the bottom of the slab to the
bottom of the top layer of rebar.

For the last support, if the column moment is anticlockwise, the moment due to
shear must be deducted.

Comments:
Where stress ratrios exceed 1.00, punching shear reinforcement must be provided. If a stress
ratio exceeds 1.50, the section has to be enlarged, or re-designed such as to bring the ratio to
1.50 or less. In this case, column 3 has been conservatively modeled as an “edge column.” Its
punching shear capacity is larger than assumed in the program. For this reason, it is acceptable if
reinforced.

PERFORM SHEAR CHECK MANUALLY
6 = STRIP TOO NARROW TO DEVELOP PUNCHING SHEAR
Comments:
Where stress ratrios exceed 1.00, punching shear reinforcement must be provided. If a stress
ratio exceeds 1.50, the section has to be enlarged, or re-designed such as to bring the ratio to
1.50 or less. In this case, column 3 has been conservatively modeled as an “edge column.” Its
punching shear capacity is larger than assumed in the program. For this reason, it is acceptable if
reinforced.
