Design and check punching shear

Once you have created your punching check items you can proceed to design or check them. You can design/check individually, by floor, or for the whole model, (although some of the methods described below are only available when working to the Eurocode or ACI head code).

Note: As the checks are dependent on using the correct levels of slab reinforcement (typically provided by patch reinforcement), you should only design or check punching shear after you have designed the slabs and designed the patches at the check locations.

  2. If a different entity is highlighted, press the <down arrow> cursor key until the correct reference is shown in the Select Entity tooltip.
  3. Right-click, and from the context menu that appears, select Edit Reinforcment.
  4. Select Auto-design
  5. Select Check....
