I have an idea to discuss here related to Punching shear; that is In categorization of columns there are :

1. Interior ,where the distance from each face of a column to the slab edge is at least four times the slab thickness

2. Edge column, where one face of a column in direction of design strip is closer to the slab edge in the same direction by four times the slab thickness .

3. Corner column, where two adjacent faces of a column are closer to their associated slab edges by less than four times the slab thickness. But the issue that is SAFE doesn't consider these definitions so it may give safe results where it may be unsafe .

Please discuss All Regards

Dear ;
I will reply as soon as possible here but remind me if I forgot

Dears ;
I have  questions related to structural programs Finite element based. That is :
1. Do we need in one way slab to read moments and shears from section cut or just from moving the cursor of the mouse over the values. if by cursor, then why not making section cut?

2. Now in 2-way slabs do we need also to make section cuts or just taking the largest value from the cursor.?

Note : when making section cuts in one way slabs the values of Moments will be larger than the cursor point value? why? and what to take from these 2-values?
