The aim is to explain the mechanical model that forms the basis for the punching design equations, to justify the relevance of the provisions and to show their suitability for the design and assessment of structures.en1751-764820133204214Wileycritical shear crack theoryfib Model Code 2010flat slabslevel of approximationpunching shearHausbau, BauhandwerkJournal Article10.1002/suco.201200064Journal Article
