In particular, he criticizes that the shear strengths' equations in these sources do not include n.\n The design steps in practice are: select the thickness of the flat plate as a ratio of the span to avoid excessive deflection; determine n values at midspans and at the supports, to resist the bending moments obtained by elastic analyses for the loading cases that produce maximum positive and maximum negative values due to factored loads; check the punching shear strength to ensure that it exceeds the maximum demand with the appropriate loading case; and provide shear reinforcing means if necessary. Scarce tests on three-dimensional structures give information on the behavior of the entire structure (for example, Sherif [1996], Sherif and Dilger [2001], and Dechka [2001]), and at the same time confirm that the behavior of the zone of the slab-column connections can be safely predicted by tests on isolated specimens, for the same V, or V combined with M.
