Drop Panel Design for Reinforced Concrete Slabs
Answer
Yes, this is possible and can be done by adding in an opening in the slab and then place a thicker slab within the opening. Then the column would connect to this thicker slab along with an average region and FE mesh refinement to eliminate singularities. This can be designed within the RF-CONCRETE Surfaces add-on module.
The punching shear design module RF‑PUNCH Pro does not have the ACI or CSA standards implemented so the solution above is an alternative to this.
