SHEAR WALL - ITS TYPES AND POSITIONING
The Constructor
MARCH 23, 2012
If the core remains in this position then it must be designed explicitly for the torsion. However, this arrangement lacks the good torsional stiffness of the previous arrangements due to the eccentricity of the core. It is far preferable to adopt a symmetrical arrangement to avoid this.

PUNCHING SHEAR
The Constructor
MARCH 23, 2012
Punching shear is most common, and is a major design consideration, in flat slab construction. When the total shear force exceeds the shear resistance of the slab, the slab will be pushed down around the column, or this can be viewed as the column being punched through the slab.
