Complete and trim punching shear perimeter
Two options have been implemented which allow users to modify the punching shear perimeter calculated by the program (Results > Flat/Waffle slabs > Punching shear):
- Complete perimeter
Allows users to draw the punching shear perimeter on zones at which it has been trimmed by the analysis or manually. - Trim perimeter
Allows users to trim the punching shear perimeter of a column.
Users can use the “Regenerate perimeters” option (Results > Flat/Waffle slabs > Punching shear) to eliminate any modifications carried out on the punching shear perimeters.
Punching shear check at supports with adjacent dropped beams
The option “Supports to which dropped beams reach” has been implemented (Job > General data > By position button > Slab options > Punching shear) which does not allow the punching shear check to take place at a support if the ratio between the depth of the dropped beams adjacent to the support and the depth of the slab is greater than the value defined in this option. The default value for this ratio is 1.20.
