      abstract     = {Punching shear describes the failure of flat slabs and
                      footings under a combined loading of concentrated shear
                      force and high bending stress. The influence of unbalanced
                      moments due to load eccentricities, which typically occur in
                      both flat slabs and footings, on the punching shear
                      behaviour remains largely unexplored, particularly for
                      footings. As the current punching shear models have been
                      derived primarily from tests on flat slabs, not only the
                      load eccentricity, but also the differences between slender
                      flat slabs and compact footings must be considered in the
                      modelling approaches. In the light of growing demands for
                      sustainability and material efficiency, a realistic and safe
                      punching design for footings and flat slabs is of increasing
                      importance, which is why the accurate consideration of load
                      eccentricities is the central tenet of this study. The
                      influence of unbalanced moments is analysed through own
                      experimental investigations on the eccentric punching shear
                      behaviour of footings without shear reinforcement. When the
                      punching cone forms incompletely with increasing load
                      eccentricity, deformations increase disproportionately. By
                      analysing the rigid body rotations, local rotational and
                      translational deformations of the slab are determined
                      sector-wise and serve as basis for deriving an extended
                      kinematic punching shear model. Innovative multiaxial strain
                      measurements confirm the formation of the compression ring
                      at the higher loaded side of the column and the resulting
                      triaxial stress state. The observed failure and
                      redistribution mechanisms for concentrically and
                      eccentrically loaded footings are used for the development
                      of the Eccentric Punching Shear Response Theory. The
                      proposed kinematic punching shear model for slabs without
                      shear reinforcement allows, for the first time, to
                      realistically predict the eccentric punching shear behaviour
                      of flat slabs and footings. The introduced sector-based
                      approach allows the differentiated determination of the
                      local load-deformation behaviour of all sectors as well as
                      the description of the rigid body rotations of the slab. The
                      final stage of this study entails the validation of the
                      kinematic punching shear model for concentric and eccentric
                      loading. This is followed by the subsequent derivation of a
                      new approach to account for unbalanced moments. Database
                      analyses and comparisons with different design approaches
                      confirm the efficiency of the developed approach.
                      Consequently, it is concluded that, in conjunction with the
                      forthcoming Eurocode 2, the goal of a safe yet economical
                      punching shear design is fulfilled.},
