N2 - Punching is a critical design case for reinforced concrete flat slabs but the provisions for punching shear design and detailing of the shear reinforcement differ considerably among the various European and American design codes. Therefore the thickness of the slab or the amount or distribution of shear reinforcement may vary between different countries.
