ABSTRACT: Although punching of reinforced slabs has been investigated extensively in the last decades,
there are only limited test data with realistic specimen sizes for punching of footings. Thus, a number of twelve
reinforced concrete footings with and without shear reinforcement were tested to investigate the punching
behavior. The thickness of most of the slabs
