A new program, Punching shear verification, was implemented in the 2013.e version. This program, which can be executed from the Structural elements group of the main CYPE program menu, checks the Failure Limit State of concrete for punching shear in flat and waffle slabs exposed to concentrated loads from rectangular or circular supports. The program can check slabs with or without transverse punching shear reinforcement, takes into account the presence of openings or lightweight zones in the slab, and the position of the supports (internal, edge or corner).
Now, for the 2013.j version, the ABNT NBR 6118:2007 (Brazil) code has been implemented in Punching shear verification, which was already available in other CYPE programs. More information on the implemented codes can be seen in the Implemented codes section of the Punching shear verification page.
