I am designing a mat foundation supporting multiple columns. How can I check the punching shear at the columns ?

There are two ways to view the punching shear

1. You can go to the Mat analysis/design options > Slab Designer > and click on the Details Report as shown next


2. You can go to the calculation sheet to get the details of the punching shear check as shown next
