Punching shear strength is important for determining member thickness, especially near concentrated loads or columns. There are two types of shear failure: beam shear along one axis, and punching shear across two axes. For punching shear, the critical section is located at half the depth from the loaded area. The punching shear strength of an unreinforced slab or footing can be calculated based on the ratio of long to short sides and perimeter of the critical section. For prestressed slabs meeting requirements, punching shear strength considers the average prestress and prestress forces crossing the critical section. Design requires calculated shear strength exceeds the permissible concrete shear stress.

Punching shear
Strength in shear frequently controls the
thickness of the member, particularly in the vicinity of a concentrated load or a column. Beam-type shear (or one-way shear)
The critical section for this type of shear failure is
usually assumed to be located at a distance d from the face of the column or concentrated load. Punching shear (or two-way shear failure)
The critical section for punching shear is usually taken
to be geometrically similar to the loaded area and located at a distance d/2 from the face of the loaded area. The punching shear strength of a slab or footing not containing shear reinforcement, Vuc
where βc is the ratio of the long side to the short side of
the loaded area and u is the perimeter of the critical section. For a two-way prestressed slab, in which no portion of the column cross-section is closer to a discontinuous edge than four times the slab thickness.
where σcp is the average value of effective prestress
(P/A) for each direction and Vp is thevertical component of all effective prestressing forces crossing the critical section Design requirement for a slab containing no shear reinforcement is that does not exceed a permissible shear stress υc carried by the concrete. For non- prestressed slabs.
