1 Abstract
The maximum punching shear stress in EN 1992-1-1, clause 6.4.3(3) is calculated according to formula
below.
It follows that maximum punching shear stress depends on:
design ultimate shear force on the perimeter (VEd)
length of control perimeter (ui)
the mean effective depth of the slab at control perimeter (d)
shear factor taking into account of moment transfer (). The calculation of this factor is based on the
principle, that the moment transferred between the slab and the column must be equal to the
moment produced by the shear v distributed around the perimeter ui
The version SCIA Engineer 2012 offers the following possibilities for calculation of factor :
Simplified method according to EN 1992-1-1, clause 6.4.3(6), default method
General method according to EN 1992-1-1, clause 6.4.3(3-5)
General method according to general formula
User input of factor (only if punching data are defined)

2.2 Punching data
Type of calculation of factor can be set in combo box Type of calculation Beta factor, where is
available four possibilities:
The default method is loaded form Concrete solver and this setting will be taken into account for
check of punching in the node with defined punching data
Note
If Type of calculation Beta factor = User input, then new property User input of beta
factor is active, where user can define own value of factor. Default value is 1,0.

In the numerical output are new values, which are used in calculation factor according to generals
methods. The following new values can be presented in numerical output :
MEd,x is unbalanced transferred bending moment between the slab and the columns
(supports) in of x axis of LCS for punching
MEd,y is unbalanced transferred bending moment between the slab and the columns
(supports) in of y axis of LCS for punching
kx,ky is a coefficient dependent on the ratio between the column dimensions in direction of
x(y) axis of LCS for punching
Wx(y),i is modulus of i-th control perimeter in direction of x(y) axis of LCS for punching
corresponds to a distribution of shear and recalculated to centre of gravity of the
control perimeter
kx,ky is a coefficient dependent on the ratio between the column dimensions in direction of
x(y) axis of LCS for punching
Wx(y),i is modulus of i-th control perimeter in direction of x(y) axis of LCS for punching
corresponds to a distribution of shear and recalculated to centre of gravity of the
node , where is column (support linked to the slab)
ke Is the coefficient dependent on the ratio between the column dimensions in direction
of eccentricity of bending moments MEd,x and MEd,y.

4.2 General method (EN 1992-1-1,6.4.3(3-5))
This method of calculation is described in to EN 1992-1-1, clause 6.4.3(6) and the calculation of factor
depends on position of column and on it, if the eccentricity toward the interior or exterior of the slab for edge
and corner column. The value of factor is calculated for each control perimeter as minimum value from
factor in first critical and in current critical perimeter. It means the this value can be different for each control
perimeter.

Note
This formula is used too for biaxial unbalanced bending moment too, because approximate
expression 6.43 in EN 1992-1-1 does not take into account opening around and interruption
of control perimeter for dimension of column greater than 3d
The factor in first critical perimeter is used for calculation the control perimeter at which
shear reinforcement is not required (value uout,eff), see clause 6.4.5(4) in EN 1992-1-1.
