Punching Shear Design (Pile Cap: BS 8110)

Punching shear checks are performed for the column and the individual piles.
Columns
The punching shear check is similar to that for pad bases, but with the following difference:
• the shear force at a perimeter uses the value from the column reduced by pile loads within the perimeter
See: Punching Shear Design for Pad Bases 
Piles
The punching shear check is similar to that for pad bases, but with the following differences:
• variable d is replaced with dred where dred  =min (h – “pile penetration depth”, average reinforcement
effective depth)
• no moments act on top of the pile, only axial load considered
• shear stress at the column face is checked only for the pile with the largest pile load:
• veff,0 = b * Fpn,max / (u0*d)
