RC Punching Shear Design


Analysis: Input data for the design is a force and an area over which the force acts, e.g. column section and column load. Design Procedure Checks: 1. Maximum shear stress at the face of the load: vmax = V / u0 d 0.8fcu or 5 N/mm2 where u0 is the perimeter of the load area 2. Shear stress at the critical section, 1.5d from the face of the loaded area: v = V / ud u = 2a + 2b + 12d where a and b are the plan dimensions of a rectangular load area. If: No shear reinforcement required. a) v vc: b) vc v 2vc: Link reinforcement may be used. Alternative proven system to be used. c) v 2vc: 3. If reinforcement is required on the critical perimeter above another perimeter is checked at a distance 0.75d from the last. This procedure continues until v vc for the perimeter under consideration. 1.5d First shear perimeter Zone 1 Reinforcement common to both zones 0.75d

Reinforcement Design: The total amount of reinforcement required is: a) v 1.6vc: Asv (v vc)ud / 0.95 fyv b) 1.6vc v 2vc: c) In either case: Asv 0.4ud / 0.95 fyv Refering to the previous diagram, the reinforcement is distributed evenly around the zone in 2 perimeters 0.75d apart. The first perimeter cannot contain 40% Asv and is located about 0.5d from the loaded area. The spacing of the reinforcement, on plan, around the perimeter 1.5d. Arrangement of Reinforcement: Generally shape code 85 reinforcment is used in flat slabs. In other structures ordinary links may be used, however, save for flat slabs and pile-caps, punching shear reinforcement should not be required the section should be of sufficient size not to require it of course there may be exceptions to this. Asv 5(0.7v vc)ud / 0.95 fyv

As there will usually be top and bottom mats around the loaded area the spacing of the punching shear links should be chosen so that the mat spacing and the link locations coincide as much as is possible, subject to all the rules governing the rebar. Extra bars may be placed in order to facilitate hanging the shear links.
