Abstract

A method of design for the edge beams in Slimflor construction using Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS). The beams are used in conjunction with steel deep decking and in situ concrete which acts compositely with decking. The composite slabs are supported by a plate welded to the underside of the RHS. Design procedures in this publication are for simply supported beams subject to uniformly distributed loading. Plastic analysis is adopted for design of the cross-section at ultimate limit state, and elastic analysis at the serviceability limit state.
