Punching shear is most common, and is a major design consideration, in flat slab construction. When the total shear force exceeds the shear resistance of the slab, the slab will be pushed down around the column, or this can be viewed as the column being punched through the slab.

In a 3D environment, flat plans are brought to life, making it possible to visualize and understand precisely how a home’s design will come together. As such, builders can greatly reduce the typical communication challenges they face coordinating projects among clients, engineers, architects, contractors, site crews, and other stakeholders.
