HOLLOW CORE SLABS SUPPORTED ON DELTABEAM®
– POSITION OF SUPPORT REACTION FORCES
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO READ THIS PAPER?
For fast and economical solutions, prefabricated structural elements
are applied in many projects.
Existing building design codes have not covered the detailing
of the load transfer from slab elements to slim fl oor beams like
DELTABEAM® so far – especially in case of a fi re incident.
The paper provides you with a safe and reliable design
approach for the load transfer from hollow core slab elements to
DELTABEAM®.
WHAT’S THE KEY TAKEAWAY?
The paper provides an easy-to-apply common design approach for
the load transfer from hollow core slabs to DELTABEAM® slim fl oor
beams in diff erent design stages, including fi re design. It promotes
good communication and common understanding of the design
requirements for all building engineers involved.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT THE MOST OF THE PAPER?
Structural engineers and slab designers will benefi t from the design
guidance.
But also contractors and owners of the building will benefi t from
increased safety resulting from better communication and common
understanding of the interaction of these building products.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Oliver Beckmann studied structural
engineering in Northern Germany. After
some years in bridge design and foundation
piling, he joined Peikko Germany for project
engineering for composite structures.
During the past years, his job focus has
changed towards product development
for composite structural products and
implementation of national technical
approvals for the D-A-CH region.
I am constantly looking for improvement
potential, for optimizing workfl ows
and technical solutions. I like to work
on a motivated team and to listen to
other people’s needs in their daily work
to tackle open issues and practical
solutions. – Oliver
