Yes, it is also possible to perform punching shear designs for vertical walls.
Please note, however, that this feature was not available in the first versions of RF‑PUNCH Pro. For this, you will need RFEM 5.08 or later.

Mr. Kieloch provides technical support to our customers and is responsible for development in the area of reinforced concrete structures.
In the Concrete Design add-on for RFEM 6, you can perform the fire design of reinforced concrete slabs and walls according to the simplified table method (EN 1992‑1‑2, Section 5.4.2 and Tables 5.8 and 5.9).
In the Concrete Design add-on, you have the option to define an existing vertically oriented punching shear reinforcement. This is then taken into account in the punching shear design.
Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
In the Concrete Design add-on, you can perform the simplified fire resistance design according to Sections 5.3.2 and 5.6 of EN 1992‑1‑2 for columns and beams.
The following design checks are available for the simplified fire resistance design:
You can determine the internal forces for the fire resistance design according to two methods.
Furthermore, it is possible to modify the axis distance according to Eq. 5.5.
