Punching Shear Design According to Eurocode 2

With RF-PUNCH Pro, you can quickly and efficiently perform punching shear design according to the following standard:

Ÿ EN 1992-1-1 (EC 2)

Compared to the previous module RF-PUNCH, it is now possible to perform the design of punching shear resistance for singularly (columns) as well as linearly (wall ends, wall corners) supported surfaces in RF-PUNCH Pro.

New Features

Ÿ Optional arrangement of an enlarged column head

Ÿ Automatic recognition of punching node area from the RFEM model

Ÿ Automatic consideration of all slab openings defined on the RFEM model

Ÿ Detection of curves or splines as boundary of the control perimeter

Ÿ Structure and graphical display of the control perimeter before calculation starts

Ÿ Optional design with unsmoothed shear stress along the control perimeter that corresponds with the actual shear distribution on the FE model

Ÿ Determination of the load incre-ment factor β by full plastic shear distribution as constant factors according to EN 1992-1-1, Chap. 6.4.3 (3), based on EN 1992-1-1, Fig. 6.21N or by user-defined specification

Ÿ Optional consideration of mini-mum moments according to EN 1992-1-1 when determining longitudinal reinforcement

Results display for punching shear designs on wall ends and wall corners as well as on columns in RFEM graphical window

Definition of nodes of punching shear in RF-PUNCH Pro

Ÿ Import of relevant information and results from RFEM

Ÿ Integrated editable material and cross-section library

Ÿ Numerous National Annexes to EC 2 available

Ÿ Integration of the design program by HALFEN, a producer of shear rails

Ÿ Numerical and graphical display of results (3D, 2D, and in sections)

Ÿ Punching shear design with or without punching shear reinforcement

Ÿ Design or dimensioning of longitudinal reinforcement

Ÿ Verifiable result documentation in the RFEM printout report
