Long span composite slabs
conference paper
In this paper specific design aspects of long span composite slabs, with deep steel sections and relatively small ribs, are discussed. Results are given of a numerical study on the rotational capacity of such sections, leading to conclusions on the applicability of plastic analysis. A simplified method is given for the calculation of the ultimate moment. A prototype of a new special steel deck element for use in ground floors in housing is presented. This element provided with insulation is designed to span up to 5. 50 m without temporary support.
