D. DESIGN COMPOSITE SLABS

CHAPTER D 'DESIGN OF COMPOSITE PANELS' 7 3. STEEL SHEET CROSS-SECTIONS The types of steel plates used for construction of composite slabs are re-entrant steel plates with or without reinforcement, trapezoidal steel plates with projections or reinforcement, and so-called 'deep decking'. A library of 240 sub-slab and trapezoidal steel plates with and without projections or reinforcements has been integrated into SCADA Pro. Trapezoidal steel sheet Steel sheet in the form of an undermining In the Geometry form, the steel sheet is selected from the library by opening and the geometric dimensions are modified if necessary. Specifically, in the first field of the form the dimensions of the steel plates are entered as shown in the figures below for each type of steel plate, also the thickness of the concrete slab hc and the parameters m, k, tu ,RD given by the manufacturers are used in the longitudinal shear check of the composite plate and are characteristic for each steel plate.
