Design Status: Status Plan.

This shows OK for all design strips. This means that there are no violations of code limits for ductility or one-way shear. Note that status does not flag excessive deflections.

There are punching shear status results at each column. You can see these more easily on the dedicated punching plan.

You can see that seven columns have an unreinforced stress ratio (USR) of less than 1.0. Six columns report "OK with SSR" which means stud shear reinforcement is required.

RAM Concept has noted "Non-standard section" at six column locations. "Non-standard section" is a warning, not an error. What it means is that at least one of the critical sections that RAM Concept is investigating for that column does not perfectly fit one of the three cases: interior, edge and corner. RAM Concept still calculates a stress ratio for non-standard sections. Refer to "Non-Standard Sections: AS3600, BS8110, EC2 and IS 456" in Chapter 29 for more information.

Where the unreinforced stress ratio (USR) is less than 1.0, the column’s punching shear is satisfactory without any reinforcement (subject to the comments above concerning “Non-standard section)).

Stud shear reinforcement is required where RAM Concept reports "OK with SSR".
