TY  - JOUR
AB - The paper considers punching failure at edge columns of reinforced concrete flat slabswithout shear reinforcement and unbalanced moments about an axis parallel to the slab edge.Edge column punching shear tests have been carried out on a variety of isolated andcontinuous specimens. The influence of eccentricity and continuity on punching resistance isassessed using existing experimental data, nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) and theCritical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) as implemented in fib Model Code 2010 (MC2010).Relating punching resistance to the elastic unbalanced moment as done in MC2010 Levels Ito III is shown to be overly conservative for continuous slabs. The ACI 318 and Eurocode 2(EC2) practice of making the design punching resistance independent of the unbalancedmoment is reviewed and shown to be reasonable particularly for continuous slabs.
