The objective of the study is to compare the FE results to the two methods adopted by ECP-203: the simplified approach and the detailed one. This comparison is carried out for interior, edge, and corner slab- column connections with various levels of the moment transferred from slab to column. Numerical calculations of the punching shear strength using the FE method are conducted using the ANSYS software UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
