N° 106: Longitudinal Shear Resistance of Composite Slabs: Evaluation of Existing Tests
English, November 98, 85 pp
This document has been prepared to facilitate producers of deck profiles for composite slabs to derive design values for longitudinal shear resistance from results of existing tests.
After a general introduction on the intention of the document in Chapter 1, the design and testing procedures given in ENV 1994-1 (Eurocode 4) are presented respectively in chapter 2 and 3. Also in chapter 3 the standard testing procedure of ENV 1994-1 is compared with national standards. In chapter 4 guidelines are given for the re-evaluation of tests so that the design values are consistent with the design rules given in ENV 1994-1.
In chapter 5 a number of worked examples are given to illustrate the procedures.
An appendix is included covering the influence of oiling the sheeting before concreting as provided in the French "Avis technique" procedure.

N° 103: Guidelines for Application of Prestressed Hollow Core Slabs Supported on Built-in Beams
English, April 1998, 18 pp
This document has been prepared joint by the ECCS and IPHA, representing the European steel construction industry, and the pre-stressed hollow core unit producers respectively. The purpose of these Guidelines is to offer design guidance on the structural requirements for floors in buildings comprising pre-stressed hollow core units supported on various types of beams, but it concentrate on the case where these units are used with built-in beams contained within the slab depth. However, the Guidelines apply to all forms of construction that are non-rigid in terms of the support conditions to the hollow core units.
These Guidelines take account of recent research information and good practice, and concern the detailing of constructions consisting of hollow core units on non rigid supports for normal conditions of use and in fire situations. It may be possible to update the guidance offered in the future as more test and research information comes available.

N° 87: Design Manual for Composite Slabs
English, November 1995, 166 pp
This design manual has been produced for engineers as well as project managers in design offices, for engineers in steel construction companies and for engineers concerned with the manufacture of profiled steel sheets for composite construction. It contains a collection of the current knowledge for the design, calculation and construction of composite slabs with profile steel sheeting.
The manual is based on Eurocode 4, part 1.1 chapters 7, 10 and Annex E which deals with composite construction, as well as Eurocode 3, part 1.3 which considers the design of profiled steel sheeting. It also contains complementary information on certain aspects of composite construction not covered in the Eurocodes.
After a general introduction to composite slabs, in chapter 1, the manual presents chapter 2 of the complementary document "Good Construction Practice for Composite Slabs" making the link between construction and design. Chapters 3 and 4 describe the conception, the pre-design and the detailing of structures using composite slabs.
The main part of the manual (chapters 5-9) is devoted to the design approaches for profiled steel sheeting and composite slabs, giving, in particular, data relating to materials, to loads and to the verification of the limit states. Finally, chapter 10 presents a series of numerical examples covering the pre-design, the design of the profile at the construction stage, the design of composite slabs and designs for special situations.

N° 83: MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS IN STEEL - DESIGN GUIDE FOR SLIM FLOORS WITH BUILT-IN BEAMS
English, September 1995, 110 pp
This document contains background information on the application of steel built-in beams according to the Swedish Method, and focusing on three types in particular : SFB, IFB and THQ. History and development of various types are briefly described. Essential information is provided for the design, verification and good practice. Design graphs are presented in order to choose proper global dimensions. Based on Eurocodes, additional rules have been driven for the verification of aspects typical of steel built-in beams. Examples of connections are included for good practice. Special attention is paid to the combination with hollow core slabs and to fire resistance.

Also available in French: BATIMENTS EN ACIER MULTI-ETAGES-GUIDE DE CONCEPTION POUR LES PLANCHERS MINCES A POUTRES INCORPOREES 23
Version française, août 1996, 110 pp
Le présent document contient des informations fondamentales concernant l'utilisation des poutres en acier incorporées selon la Méthode Suédoise, et étudie tout particulièrement trois types: SFB, IFB et THQ. L'historique et l'évolution des différents types sont brièvement décrits. Des informations essentielles sont données en vue de la conception, de la vérification et du respect des règles de l'art. Des diagrammes de dimensionnement sont présentés afin de permettre le choix des dimensions globales appropriées. Sur la base des Eurocodes, des règles supplémentaires ont été élaborées pour la vérification des aspects particuliers aux poutres en acier incorporées. Des exemples d'assemblages conformes aux règles de l'art sont donnés. Une attention particulière est apportée à l'utilisation combinée avec des dalles alvéolées ainsi qu'à la résistance au feu.

N° 34: Light Weight Steel Based Floor System for Multi-Storey Buildings
English, 1984, 50 pp
The object of this paper is to present new trends in the development and application of steel based floor systems. Such light weight floors in combination with plate materials are alternatives to concrete floors. Load carrying capacity and stiffness of the floors can be increased by the composite action of steel sheet sections and plate materials.

The German version is also available at the Deutscher Stahlbau Verband, Sohnstraße 65, 40237 Düsseldorf, Germany.
