This example shows the designing of a composite floor slab for both construction stage and
composite stage.
Characteristics of materials:
The slab is designed for both the construction stage and the composite stage.
In the construction stage, the steel sheeting acts as shuttering and has to carry its own weight, the wet
concrete ,the construction loads. and "ponding" effect (increased depth of concrete due to deflection of
the sheeting). If the central deflection of the sheeting under its own weight plus that of the wet
concrete, calculated for serviceability, is less than 1/10 of the slab depth, the ponding effect may be
ignored in the design of the steel sheeting. If this limit is exceeded, this effect should be allowed for. It
may be assumed in design that the nominal thickness of the concrete is increased over the whole span
by 0,7 δ. Account shall be taken of the effect of props, if any.
Verification of the profiled steel sheeting for ultimate limit states should be in accordance with EN
1993-1-3. Due consideration should be given to the effect of embossments or indentations on the
design resistances.
In verification of profiled steel sheeting as shuttering for serviceability limit states we should take into
account:
1-Section properties should be determined in accordance with EN 1993-1-3.
ISE THE COMPOSITE FLOOR SLAB ON STEEL SHEETING p. 3
2-The deflection δs of the sheeting under its own weight plus the weight of wet concrete, excluding the
construction load, should not exceed L/180,
In the construction stage we accept the 3-span beams for calculation of internal forces.
In the composite stage the slab has to carry its own weight, floor finishes and the live load.
In the composite stage we accept the single-span beam for calculation of internal forces.
Due to the considerable slenderness of the walls, the effective (reduced) moments of inertia and the
strengths of the cross-section shall be taken into account. It is important to take into account the
differences resulting from the unequal reduction of the cross-sectional load, depending on whether the
lower or upper edge of the sheet is compressed. Technical data for PEVA 45 sheets for different
thicknesses are given in Table 1.1.
In the construction stage we accept the 3-span beams for calculation of internal forces
The exact calculations should include the variability of inertia moments (different stiffness in the bend
and on the supports). Due to the slight difference in inertia moments in the compression of the lower
edge and the compression of the upper edge for PEVA 45 profile steel sheeting, internal forces can be
determined as for a constant section beam. We calculate internal bending moments and shear forces
using the Winkler's boards.
Uniform load
Mpod = (0,1 ∙ g d + 0,117 ∙ pd ) ∙ L21 = (0,1 ∙ 4,46 + 0,117 ∙ 1,50) ∙ 1,0² = 0,622 kNm/m
Mprz = (0,08 ∙ g d + 0,101 ∙ pd ) ∙ L21 = (0,08 ∙ 4,46 + 0,101 ∙ 1,50) ∙ 1,0² = 0,508 kNm/m
Maximum hogging bending moment – characteristic value ( This value is needed for calculating of
deflection)
Mk,max = (0,1 ∙ g k + 0,05 ∙ pk ) ∙ L21 = (0,1 ∙ 3,30 + 0,05 ∙ 1,00) ∙ 1,0² = 0,38 kNm/m
We calculate deflection value δs,max and deflection value δs (The deflection δs of the sheeting under its
own weight plus the weight of wet concrete, excluding the construction load)
