Punching Shear Design

This recorded webinar brings together two renown concrete design experts, Peter Statton and Peter Burnton, to review the new Structural Design process for Punching Shear in Slabs. The presentation is based on the work to introduce the process into the Australian Standard AS 5100.5 Bridge Design – Concrete.
The Amendment 2 to AS5100.5 Bridge Design – Concrete includes a completely new approach to the design for slab punching shear. Peter Burnton and Peter Statton worked together from the initial identification for the need for this change through to promotion of this revision in Amendment 2 of AS5100.5. This webinar will cover four key subject areas relevant to this new approach to punching shear, presented by the two experts who have developed and promoted this important change in AS 5100.5:
The background to the existing punching shear clause, reasons for the proposed change and the storyline of the progress in its development through to its publication in the Amendment 2 of AS 5100.5.
The approach to the new method and analysis of slabs for punching shear, including examples.
Design and detailing of slabs for punching shear and how the detailing rules interface with one way slab shear detailing rules, including examples.
Non-standard structural forms such as upstand “drop panels”; tension piles or tension anchors connected to base slabs; struts load to supporting retaining walls, local stress at support wall ends and temporary slab penetrations.
