CMP1001: How to Use SteelDecklogin to downloadComposite28-Nov-07Xiao Huantian
The SteelDeck software based on the British Standard BS 5950 Part 4 was developed to aid engineers in the task of designing simply supported composite slabs for point loading. A design example consisting of al shelf pallet rack supported on ...
CMP1002: Composite Steel Beam Behaviour with Precast Rib Flooringlogin to downloadComposite27-Nov-07Allistair Fussel
Floors consisting of precast ribs supported on structural steel beams and in situ structural topping are a common form of composite floor construction. In this article guidance is given on the modifications required to previously published design guidance for computing ...
CMP1003: Durability of Composite Decks Exposed to Surface Waterlogin to downloadComposite07-Nov-08Kevin Cowie; Clark Hyland
Composite metal decking systems can be designed to satisfy durability requirements for a 50 year design life by ensuring that flexural crack widths, concrete strength and covers stay within the limits set in the Concrete Structures Standard NZS3101. This article ...
CMP1004: Suspended Slabs Flatness Toleranceslogin to downloadComposite07-Nov-08Kevin Cowie; Clark Hyland
The tolerance limits in NZS 3114 have proved to be problematic for flooring contractors. Actual practice has shown that the current New Zealand standards for concrete surface finish tolerances for suspended slabs are not achievable. This article considers what the ...
CMP1005: Suspended Slabs Level Toleranceslogin to downloadComposite07-Nov-08Kevin Cowie; Clark Hyland
There are two issues to consider when specifying floor finish: flatness and levelness. Figure 1 illustrates the differences. This article considers levelness tolerances. Steel Advisor article CMP1004 discusses flatness tolerances... ...
