(b) A flat slab system is as shown in Figure 1(b). Spans between columns are shown in meter. Calculate the punching shear at an internal column using the tributary area and compare it with the ultimate shear strength as per Section [9.3] of AS3600. Assume no moment transferred to the column and no closed fitments.
