Shear
There are three approaches to designing for shear:
When shear reinforcement is not required e.g. slabs
When shear reinforcement is required e.g. Beams
Punching shear requirements e.g. flat slabs
The maximum shear strength in the UK should not exceed thatof class C50/60 concrete

Solution3. Perimeter at which punching shear no longer required
uout = VEd/(dvRd,c)

For flanged sections where the ratio of the flangebreadth to the rib breadth exceeds 3, the values ofl/dgiven by Expression (7.16) should be multiplied by 0.8.
For flat slabs, with spans exceeding 8.5 m, whichsupport partitions liable to be damaged by excessivedeflections, the values of l/d given by Expression (7.16)should be multiplied by 8.5 / leff(leff in metres, see5.3.2.2 (1)).
