Hi,
We have just running Staad foundation advanced v 08.03.00.30, but there are many errors with on way shear and punching shear check of footing according to Eurocode 2.
One way shear check error in square isolated footing: With the same reinforcement in X and Z direction, but the percentage of steel in X and Z direction is very different.
Punching shear check error: + The eccentricity factor was not calculated according to 6.4.3 and 6.4.4 Eurocode 1992-1-1 (always =1)
+ The punching shear force was not calculated correctly according to (6.48) Eurocode 1992-1-1
+ With isolated footing 6.2x6.2x0.9m, the punching shear area is located inside footing, no result is given??;
+ With isolated footing 4.5x4.5x0.9m, the punching shear area is located outside footing, the calculation is still carried out, it’s not correct!!!
The same punching shear check issue is happened when design combined footing: The eccentricity factor was not calculated and the punching shear force was not calculated correctly according to (6.48) Eurocode 1992-1-1.
Please help to check.
Thanks.
