RAM Concept Help

Viewing punching shear results

RAM Concept checks punching (or two-way) shear for the appropriate code. It calculates the stresses at each vertex of a potential failure plane and compares the calculated stresses to allowable values.

To view the punching shear status

Select Layers > Design Status > Punching Shear Status Plan.
Note: "USR" is unreinforced stress ratio
Note: "RSR" is reinforced stress ratio
Note: "CTSR" is closed ties stress ratio. This is only available for AS3600. See The "AS 3600 Punching Shear Model" of Chapter 66, "Punching Shear Design Notes".
