Prestressed Concrete Slabs. Article 11.12.2.2 of the ACI code [Ref. 11.

2] specifies
that the nominal punching shear capacity of concrete ve can be taken equal to:

ye = flpZ+0.3crg + Vp /bode psi (11.10)

provided the following conditions are satisfied:
I. No portion of the column cross section shall be closer to a discontinuous edge
than 4 times the slab thickness
2. The value off'e in Eq. (11.10) shall not be taken greater than 5 ksi (35 MPa)
3. The average prestress krg = Fble) in each direction of the slab shall not be less
than 125 psi (0.86 MPa), nor be taken greater than 500 psi (4.3 MPa).
In Eq. (11.10), crg is the average precompression in the direction of moment
transfer, be, is the perimeter of the critical section considered for punching shear, and
V is the shear carried through the critical section by the tendons (vertical
component of the prestressing force carried by the tendons passing through the
critical section). Vp can be conservatively neglected in a preliminary design. The
coefficient 4, is given by:

{3.5
4 p = smaller of
1.5 + ci`
bc,
40 for interior columns
as =30 for edge columns
20 for corner columns

The value of ve in Eq. (11.10) reflects the type of failure (diagonal tension or
punching shear) observed in tests. The computation of average compression (ag =
F/Ae) may necessitate taking into consideration the loss of prestress due to restraint
of the slab by shear walls or other structural elements, especially if its value exceeds
about 300 psi (2.6 MPa).
Note that Eq. (11.10) is similar to Eq. (11.12) AC1 code, or Eq. (6.35) in this
text) for ve,„ used to estimate the web-shear cracking resistance of prestressed beams,
except that for beams, the factor flp = 3.5.
If the conditions of application of Eq. (11.10) are not satisfied, the value of ve is
taken as for nonprestressed slabs.
