Abstract

Presents construction details and methods of design for slim floor construction comprising Slimflor fabricated beams, and in situ concrete acting compositely with the steel deep decking. The composite slabs are supported on a plate welded to the bottom flange of a rolled section. Plastic analysis is adopted for design of the cross-section at ultimate limit state and elastic analysis for the serviceability limit state. Design tables and explanation of their use for initial sizing of Slimflor beams are included. Two fully worked examples are presented in Appendices which illustrate the design methods for non-composite and composite action.
