Control Perimeter for slab punching

[stroxy]

Hi

It appears the program is calculating a larger control perimeter for columns defined as edge columns than for columns defined as internal columns.  Am I missing something??

Could you attach this rtd file please? Thank you.

Hi Artur

File is attached.  By the way under ACI code there are no issues with punching.

The algorithm for calculations of the critical perimeter has been optimized for columns which one of its local axes is perpendicular to the (nearest) edge of a slab. For the columns orientation (slab edge shape) as in your example this may be not 100% accurate. We will check if that could be improved. Thank you for indication this situation.
