DESIGN OF COMPOSITE<br />

SLAB<br />

Design code Made by RML Sheet no.<br />

BS 5950: Part 4 Checked by GWO<br />

Check the design of a composite slab 125 mm deep, with beams at<br />

3m centres, and using the deck shown below. (Note: this design is<br />

carried out to BS 5950: Part 4: 1994.)<br />

Deck shape:<br />

<strong>Steel</strong> thickness t = 1.2 mm (bare thickness of steel)<br />

<strong>Steel</strong> grade py = 280 N/mm 2<br />

Trough spacing = 300 mm<br />

Loads<br />

Imposed load = 5.0 kN/m 2<br />

Partitions (imposed load) = 1.0 kN/m 2<br />

Ceiling = 0.5 kN/m 2<br />

Self weight (slab) = 2.0 kN/m 2 – see later<br />

Construction load (temporary) = 1.5 kN/m 2 considered as imposed load<br />

Concrete<br />

Cube strength fcu = 30 N/mm 2<br />

Density (dry) = 1800 kg/m3 (lightweight)<br />

Density (wet) = 1900 kg/m3 (lightweight)<br />
