Greetings, let's say the structure with RC columns on the foundation slab with the edge beam around the perimeter - I'm thinking about shear forces between edge beam and foundation slab in the area of columns. There is a spike of shear forces in this area because of the large forces in columns. How much of a problem is this or am I overthinking? I haven't seen this addressed in any similar project yet. Pounching shear of the slab is not a problem since we have edge beams (bending moments + shear) but how to control the contact area between edge beam and slab around the columns?
thoughts?
