This document replaces the earlier publication by the European Convention of Constructional Steelwork, “European Recommendations for the Testing of Connections in Profiled Steel Sheeting and Sections”, Publication no. 21, first published in 1977 and revised in 1983. Since this publication, the use of profiled steel and cold-formed steel has grown considerably, particularly in the use of coldformed steel sections in structural framing. The current document has been restructured to conform to guidance in current Eurocodes, which have also been introduced since 1983. The document has been prepared by the Technical Working Group 7.10, part of the ECCS Technical Committee TC7, Cold-formed steel structures.
N° 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.
N° 88: EUROPEAN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF METAL SHEETING
ACTING AS A DIAPHRAGM - STRESSED SKIN DESIGN
English, September 1995, 200 pp
The
recommendations are concerned with the design, construction and use
of shear diaphragms acting as a stressed skin in thin walled steel decking,
roofing or side cladding in buildings. They also include the design,
construction and use of sheet steel in frameless structures or substructures
such as folded plates, hyperbolic paraboloids and curved shells. They
also give design recommendations for the effect of profiled steel sheet
in lateral bracing to members and diaphragm action in composite floors.
In principle these Recommendations have been formulated for "steel".
But in some chapters additional information is given concerning deviations
for aluminium. Without a reference to material the clause is valid for
steel.
N° 62: Preliminary European Recommendations for Sandwich Panels:
part II (Good Practice)
English, July 1990, 160pp
Deals with the application of sandwich components, and is thus principally
directed toward manufacturer and user. Part I contains recommendations
regarding both the dimensioning and fixing of components and includes
statements regarding test procedures for quality control and the determination
of characteristic data of material and carrying capacity values.
