Thls paper descrlbes the formulatlon of the Ultlmate LlmltState of punchlng reslstance of prestressed slabs proposed In the new FIP Recomo
mendatlons for the deslgn of post-tensloned slabs and foundatlon rafts. The prestress effects were consldered on the actlon slde deflnlng an ef-
fectlve applled punchlng load. For the evaluatlon of the punchlng reslstance, CEB-FIP Model Code 90 was followed. An example of the
appllcatlon of thls method to an Interior column of a prestressed flat slab 15presented.

towards the interior, it is considered that the punching force is
uniformly distributed along the control perimeter u~, as defined in
