Managing Punching Shear in Pad Foundations The punching shear is a failure mechanism in structural members like slabs and foundation by shear under the action of concentrated loads. Punching shear failure mechanism is observed in normal floor slabs, flat slabs, and in the foundation slabs below the column.
