In the “Flat, waffle and joist floor slab options” - “Punching shear” (“Project” menu > “General data” > steel bars “By position” button), the difference between the top surfaces of the floor slabs can be defined in order to carry out the punching shear check in the same way as if they were at the same level. If the distance between the top surfaces of the floor slabs facing the support is greater than the defined value, the punching shear checks will not be carried out.
