How does RAM Concept handle punching shear?

In RAM Concept , any slab-column connection can be designed for punching shear considerations. RAM Concept performs the following steps in the analysis and design of a slab-column connection for punching shear:

Step 1: Determine the force envelopes to be checked

Step 2: Determine the "column" critical sections

Step 3: Determine the code-model stresses on the column sections

Step 4: Determine the code-allowable stresses on the column sections

Step 5: Design stud shear reinforcement (SSR) if necessary

Step 6: Summarize the Results
