Punching shear verification

Implementation of NTC: 14-01-2008 (Italy)

The NTC: 14-01-2008 Italian code (Norme tecniche per le construzioni) has been implemented in the program. This code was already implemented as of previous versions in other CYPE programs (CYPECADMetal 3DContinuous beamsBox Culverts and Foundation elements).

Punching shear verification (new program)

The program: Punching shear verification, located in the Structures group of the main CYPE program menu, carries out the Failure Limit State check for punching shear in flat slabs and waffle floor slabs with applied concentrated loads from rectangular or circular supports. The program allows user to check slabs with or without transverse punching shear reinforcement, taking into account the presence of openings, or lightweight sections of the slab, and the layout of the supports (internal, edge or corner).

Punching shear verification has been designed to work as an independent program and as a tool within CYPECAD. Use of the program in CYPECAD is not yet available, but will be implemented in an upcoming version.

Implemented in the program are the EHE-08 Spanish concrete code and Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1). More concrete codes will be implemented in upcoming versions.
