Punching shear is most common, and is a major design consideration, in flat slab construction. Consider a portion of slab subjected to an increasing concentrated load. Eventually the slab will fail. One possible method of failure is that the load punches through the slab. Tweet Loading GET LATEST TOPICS IN YOUR EMAIL- SUBSCRIBE NOW.

Structural engineers, detailers and fabricators struggle with siloed teams, disconnected workflows, and varying software platforms that do not integrate seamlessly. Integrate structural analysis and design with BIM to improve the quality of the structural design. Accurate BOM procures only needed quantity.

Truss members can thus transmit only axial forces (tensile and compressive forces). The basic difference in the behavior of a truss and a beam is that the truss comprises members that can sustain only axial forces but no bending moment or shear force which are the dominant forces in the beam.

A project at a conceptual design phase would suggest a different markup than one that is 90% complete with construction documents.
