Vergleich der Durchstanzbemessung nach Model Code 2010 und Eurocode 2

Comparison of punching shear design according to Model Code 2010 and Eurocode 2

Model Code 2010 introduces a new design concept for punching shear, which bases on the so-called Critical Shear Crack Theory. In this paper, the design provisions for punching shear according to Model Code 2010, Eurocode 2 and the corresponding German National Annex to Eurocode 2 are presented and background information is given. By means of parameter studies and a comparison of the calculated resistances to test result, the different punching shear design provisions are critically reviewed. The safety levels of the code provisions are verified and the influence of the different punching parameters on the calculated resistances is examined in detail.
