2 DESIGN CRITERIA

The design calculation for the proposed AP 70 / 215 Steel Profile Composite Decking are carried out
in accordance with BS 5950 - 1: 2000, BS 5950 - 3: 1990, BS 5950 - 4: 1994, BS 5950 - 6: 1995,
BS 5954 - 8: 2003, BS 8110 - 1: 1997, BS 476 - 20: 1987 & BS 476 - 21: 1987.
APL data sheet is the reference with regards to profile properties.
It is assumed that the decking profile is continuous over the support, subjected to wet concrete load
and supporting live load of 1.5 kN/m2 at construction stage & 2 kN/m2 at service stage.

3 SUMMARY

The decking profile can withstand the applied load for maximum given support spacing of 2862 mm
at construction stage and for maximum support spacing of 3200 mm as composite with concrete.
Props should be provided if span at construction stage exceeds 2862 mm

4 ESTIMATION OF MAXIMUM SPAN AT CONSTRUCTION STAGE

4.1 LOADING:

Area of cross section per meter width Ap = T1 x 1220 = 1418.60 mm2

Co
Where, t = Profile sheet thickness = 1 mm
1220 = Coil width
Co = Sheet cover width = 860 mm

Number of valleys per meter width nv = 5

Own weight of sheet DL1 = D x A x 9.81 = 0.109 kN/m2

Where, D = Metal Density = 7850 kg/m3

Ap = Area of cross section per meter width = 1418.61 mm2
9.81 = Acceleration due to gravity

5.1 CHECK FOR MOMENT:

Applied moment assuming Simply supported condition at support with no hogging moment.
(i.e. only nominal reinforcement over support):

Superimposed Dead Load DLADD = 3 kN/m2

Dead load of concrete DL2 = 3.92 kN/m2
Live load at service stage LL2 = 2.00 kN/m2

Ultimate load Uc = 1.4 DL + 1.6 LL + 1.4 Add DL = 12.89 kN/m2

Moment Mcu = Uc x span2 = 16.49 kNm

The design moment Mcr = Tz = 71.91 kNm BS 5950-4:1994

Mcu < Mcr

Therefore Ok Safe

5.2 CHECK FOR DEFLECTION:

Ic, and uncracked sections Iu, using design depth of slab. BS 5950-4:1994
