D. DESIGN COMPOSITE SLABS

CHAPTER D 'DESIGN OF COMPOSITE PANELS' 12 7. DIMENSIONING For the sizing of the slab, the regulation EN 1993-1-3 for the sizing of steel plates in the composite slab construction phase shall be applied. On the basis of EN 1993-1-3, the active cross-section of the steel plate and all the mechanical properties per metre of length are calculated (§ 3.3, 4.2, 4.3.3, 4.3.4), as well as all adequacy checks relating to the cross-section of the steel plate. Inspections of the steel plate include: • Bending test (§5.4) • Vertical shear test (§5.8) • Transverse load test (§5.8) • Combined shear and bending test (§5.10) • Combined bending and transverse load test (§5.11) • Arrow control (§7.3) The dimensioning of the composite slab shall be in accordance with EN 1994-1-1 and Section 9 includes the following proficiency checks: • Bending test (§9.7.2) • Longitudinal shear test on plates without end anchorage (§9.7.3) • Longitudinal shear test on plates with end anchorage (§9.7.4) • Vertical shear test (§9.7.5) • Concrete cracking control (§9.8.1) • Arrow control (§9.8.2) In the Checks form there is the option to uncheck some checks and not implement them. The choice refers to paragraph 9.4.3 of EN 1994-1-1 for the calculation of the effective width of a composite slab for concentrated point and linear loads during composite slab testing.
