Calculations of Concrete Punching Shear Strength

Factor of Column Type, a = 3.00
qcup1 = 0.316*(0.5+a/b)*(fcu/gc)^0.5 = 1.41 N/mm2 ECP 203-2020 Eq. (4-46-b)

qcup3 = 0.316*(fcu/gc)^0.5 = 1.41 N/mm2 ECP 203-2020 Eq. (4-46-c)
qcup4 = 1.7 N/mm =2 1.70 N/mm2 ECP 203-2020 Eq. (4-46-c)

Concrete Punching Shear Strength, qcup = 1.41 N/mm2

Punching Shear Ratio = 1.03 qup > qcup Shear Reinforcment is Required.

Check Max. Permissible Punching Shear Stress with Reinforcement
