Theoretical background

Simplified method (EN 1992-1-1,6.4.3(6))

This method according to EN 1992-1-1, clause 6.4.3(6) can be used for structures where the lateral stability does not depend on frame action between the slabs and the columns, and where the adjacent spans do not differ in length by more than 25%. The value of β factor is the same for all control perimeters and depends on position of the column, where for

The value of β factor for simplified method and for different position of column can be set or edit for each NA  in Manager of national annex > EN 1992-1-1 > ULS > Punching, see picture below

General method (EN 1992-1-1,6.4.3(3-5))

This method of calculation is described in to EN 1992-1-1, clause 6.4.3(6) and the calculation of β factor depends on two factors: (i) on the position of the column and (ii) on the direction of eccentricity (whether it is oriented inward or outward of the slab; this applies to columns on the edge or at the corner of a slab). The value of β factor is calculated for each control perimeter as minimum value from β factor in first critical and in current critical perimeter. It means the this value can be different for each control perimeter.

Internal column

The following formula are used for calculation of β factor

This formula is used too for biaxial unbalanced bending moment too, because approximate expression 6.43 in EN 1992-1-1 does not take into account opening around and interruption of control perimeter for dimension of column greater than 3d

The β factor in first critical perimeter is used for calculation the control perimeter at which shear reinforcement is not required (value uout,eff), see clause 6.4.5(4) in EN 1992-1-1.

General method (general formula)

This method of calculation is based on the formula below, where value β is calculated from the biggest value of the shear stress caused by shear force and unbalanced transferred   bending moments between the slab and the columns(supports). The value of β factor is calculated for each control perimeter as minimum value from β factor in first critical and in current critical perimeter. It means the this value can be different for each control perimeter.

The β factor in first critical perimeter is used for calculation the control perimeter at which shear reinforcement is not required (value uout,eff), see clause 6.4.5(4) in EN 1992-1-1.
