    Procedure

    [Punching Shear Check(By FEM)]

    In these methods (The FEM Method), the Shear force along the critical section is taken and divided by the effective depth to calculate shear stress.Therefore there is no need to calculate (Beta), to consider moment transferred to the column.

    (There are 4 plate elements intersecting at nodes. The nodes are marked by nomenclature of Grid Lines. As the center node is denoted by B2 , B on x-Axis and2 on Y-Axis)

    When slab is defined as the plate element, the program calculated stresses only at the nodes, in the analysis. So we have the stresses at B1, B2, C2 etc. (seethe figure above) are calculated by the program.

    Case 1 - To calculate stresses at the critical section that is u1 in the given figure, for example we take the point P in the figure which lies in a straight line. Thestress at B1 and B2 are known. The values at these nodes are interpolated linearly to find the stress at point P .

    Case 2- Now if the point lies in the curve such as the point Q, then the software will divide the curve into 6 parts. At each point such as Q a tangent whichintersects B1-B2 and C2-B2.The value of stresses at T and V are determined by linear interpolation of stresses which are known at for T (at B1 and B2) and forV (at C2 and B2). After knowing stresses at T and V the stress at Q is determined by linear interpolation of stresses at T and V.

    Procedure

    [Punching Shear Check(By FEM)]

    (Method 1: Average by elements.)In this method the stresses at all the critical points is determined. The critical points divide the critical sectioninto segments. The average value for all these segments is determined by dividing the stresses at the two endsof the segment by 2. After determining the average value for each segment, the maximum average valuefrom all of the segments is reported as the Stress value for the critical Section.

    a,b are stresses at the segment ends.Average value for the segment will be (a+b)/2, and such average value for each segment is determined.

    Procedure Wall Design

    Wall design forces and tension reinforcements are obtained in an element subject to in-plane orthogonal stress.

    The tension reinforcement in an element subject to in- plane orthogonal stresses Edx , Edy and Edxy can be calculated as shown below.Compressive stresses should be taken as positive, with Edx > Edy , and the direction of reinforcement should coincide with the x and y axes.

    where, x and y are the geometric reinforcement ratios, along the x and y axes respectively.

    In locations where Edy is tensile or Edx Edy 2Edxy , reinforcement is required. The optimum reinforcement, indicated by superscript , andrelated concrete stress are determined by:
