127 - Preliminary European Recommendations for the Testing and Design
of Fastenings for Sandwich Panels
The European product standard for sandwich panels, EN 14509, covers
the requirements and verification methods for the essential properties
of factory made sandwich panel products. Fastenings are typically made
at a building site outside the factory. Thus, fastenings are not a subject
for a European product standard. The European Recommendations, CIB Publication
No. 257 and ECCS Publication No. 115, published in 2000 and 2001, give
loading arrangements and proceudures with which to determine the tensile
and shear resistance of both direct and concealed fastenings. These
new recommendations update the previously published procedures for fastenings
and extend the concept to include also fastenings fixed in a face layer.
The sources of information taken into account in the writing of these
recommendations have included the previously published recommendations,
relevant new research results and the current practice with regard to
the available screw fastenings and concealed fastenings. The resulting
recommendations are believed to be particularly applicable to the typical
metal sheet-faced sandwich panels with cores of polyurethane or polystyrene
foam or mineral wool which are on the market today. However, the rules
and methods can be applied to other and new types of fastenings and
sandwich panel products. When applying these recommendations, the user
shall take into account the mechanical behaviour of the fastening in
practice and shall take care to ensure the correspondence of the observed
behaviour and resistance of the fastening in the tests and the actual
behaviour in practice.
The recommendations are published as Preliminary European Recommendations
for the Testing and Design of Fastenings for Sandwich Panels.
There are two reasons for the prefix preliminary. The status
of full-scale tests, when compared to tests using small-size specimens
requires clearer definition. The rules for the adjustment of test results
to nomimal values of the essential properties of the face and core materials
require more detailed study in order to cover more reliably all types
of core materals. Research anticipated in near future may provide the
required information and make possible the publication of this document
as European Recommendations.

N° 123 - Worked examples according to EN1993-1-3
Authors ECCS TC7 TWG 7.5
Eurocode 3, Part 1.3, Supplementary rules for cold formed members and
sheeting (EN 1993-1-3:2004) has been published. This standard replaces
pre-standard ENV 1993-1-3:1996 and contains updates and revisions to
the pre-standard ENV 1993-1-3.
This new publication replaces ECCS document No. 114. The examples have
been updated following the provisions given in EN 1993-1-3. Some new
examples have been also included. These examples show applicability
of design provisions in EN 1993-1-3 in practice. They also help in interpretation
of the guidance given in the code.

N° 118 - Design Examples for the Use of Light
Gauge Steel in Steel Framed Housing According to ENV 1993-1-3:1996
English, 2004, 48 pp, Authors TC 7
ISBN 92-9147-000-75
This publication aims at assisting the engineers in applying ENV 1993-1-3
in the design of light gauge steel members in steel framed buildings.
It provides engineers examples where basic components of steel-framed
house are designed according to ENV 1993-1-3. The examples are based
on the Light Weight Steel Framing Manual (1991) published by Canadian
Sheet Steel Building Institute (CSSBI) and new Lightweight Steel Framing
Design Manual (January 2000) of AISI prepared by Mr. Tom Trestain.

115: European Recommendations for Sandwich Panels Part I: Design
English, 2001, 161 pp
These recommendations apply to roof or wall cladding, ceiling and internal
wall panels in the form of a sandwich in which the inner and outer faces
are formed from thin metal sheets and the core is a relatively low density
material having both stiffening and insulating properties. The components
of the sandwich must be bonded together in such a manner as to provide
a composite load-bearing panel. Adequate bonding may be achieved by using
the inherent bonding capability of certain rigid plastic foams or by the
use of separate adhesives. The design equations may only be applied to
fully bonded panels. If either face is only partially bonded to the core,
all components of resistance must be defined by testing paying due regard
to long-term effects.The document as a whole is concerned with structural
sandwich panels designed to resist such external loading conditions as
wind and snow. For internal construction, less onerous requirements are
also formulated.The design of sandwich panels is based on simplified calculation
models together with basic material and structural tests. However, the
use of more advanced (numerical) methods of analysis and/or full scale
testing may be required in certain cases in order to take into account
special properties of the panel systems. The use of such advanced methods
is outside the scope of these Recommendations.

114 - Preliminary Worked Examples according to Eurocode 3 part 1.3
To check the workability and accuracy of ENV 1993-1-3 it has been decided
by ECCS TC7 to prepare a number of calculations related to cold-formed
structures. The publication of these calculations provides the designing
engineers a number of examples and shows how to handle the different items
in ENV 1993-1-3.
