Event Summary
Punching Shear Design
This 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 Second Amendment 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.
• 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.
The webinar will be live from 2.00pm to approximately 5.00pm (AEDT). It is conducted online on the Zoom platform and delegates will be emailed login details and a password for this webinar prior to the event.

Peter Burnton is an Arup Fellow, an Adjunct Professor at the University of Queensland, School of Civil Engineering and holds a Diploma Imperial College (Concrete Structures) and a Master of Science (Concrete Structures). He has served on the AS5100.5 Australian Standards committees for over two decades from the initial version of AS5100. Peter has 45 years of experience in the design of concrete structures for the transport sector – bridges, in ground structures, earth retaining structures, marine structures and concrete pavements.
Peter Statton is a Technical Executive Structures at WSP and Fellow in WSP’s global technical leadership program. Peter has served on the National Structural College Board within Engineers Australia for more than 10 years, chairing that board between 2021-2023. Peter has 47 years’ experience including holding lead structural design or verification roles on National projects with concrete structures across the transport infrastructure, water, building, power and industrial sectors – underground road-rail shaft/box/station/cut-cover structures, earth retaining structures and building structures. Peter has co-chaired several conferences including the Australasian Structural Engineering Conference 2024.
