Foreword
This document (EN 13747:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 229 “Precast concrete
products”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR, and was examined by and agreed with a joint working
party appointed by the Liaison Group CEN/TC229-TC250, particularly for its compatibility with structural
Eurocodes.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by April 2008.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 89/106/EEC.
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
This standard is one of a series of product standards for precast concrete products.
For common aspects reference is made to EN 13369 : Common rules for precast products, from which also
the relevant requirements of the EN 206-1 : Concrete — Part 1 : Specification, performances, production and
conformity are taken.
The references to EN 13369 by CEN/TC 229 product standards are intended to make them homogeneous
and to avoid repetitions of similar requirements.
Eurocodes are taken as a common reference for design aspects. The installation of some structural precast
concrete products is dealt with by ENV 13670-1: Execution of concrete structures – Part 1: Common rules,
which has at the moment the status of a European prestandard. In all countries it can be accompanied by
alternatives for national application and it shall not be treated as a European standard.
The programme of standards for structural precast concrete products comprises the following standards, in
some cases consisting on several parts:
⎯ EN 1168, Precast concrete products — Hollow core slabs
⎯ EN 12794, Precast concrete products — Foundation piles
⎯ EN 12843, Precast concrete products — Masts and poles
⎯ EN 13747, Precast concrete products — Floor plates for floor systems
⎯ prEN 15037-1, Precast concrete products — Beam-and-block floor systems – Part 1: Beams
⎯ PrEN 15037-2, Precast concrete products — Beam and blocks floor systems – Part 2: Blocks
⎯ EN 13224, Precast concrete products — Ribbed floor elements
⎯ EN 13225, Precast concrete products — Linear structural elements
⎯ prEN 14992, Precast concrete products — Wall elements

EN 13747:2005 (E)
⎯ EN 13693, Precast concrete products — Special roof elements
⎯ prEN 14844, Precast concrete products — Box culverts
⎯ EN 13978, Precast concrete products — Precast concrete garages
⎯ prEN 14991, Precast concrete products — Foundation elements
⎯ prEN 15050, Precast concrete products bridge elements
⎯ prEN 14843, Precast concrete products — Stairs
This standard defines in Annex ZA the application methods of CE marking to products designed using the
relevant EN Eurocodes (EN 1992-1-1:2004 and EN 1992-1-2:2004). Where, in default of applicability
conditions of EN Eurocodes to the works of destination, design Provisions other than EN Eurocodes are used
for mechanical strength and/or fire resistance, the conditions to affix CE marking to the product are described
in ZA.3.4.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
and the United Kingdom.

EN 13747:2005 (E)
Introduction
The evaluation of conformity given in this standard refers to the completed precast elements which are
supplied to the market and covers all the production operations carried out in the factory.
For design rules reference is made to EN 1992-1-1:2004. Additional complementary rules are provided where
necessary.
In clauses 4.3.3 and 4.3.4, the present standard includes specific provisions resulting from the application of
EN 1992-1-1:2004 and EN 1992-1-2:2004 rules made specific for the concerned product. The use of these
provisions is consistent with a design of works made with EN 1992-1-1:2004 and EN 1992-1-2:2004.

EN 13747:2005 (E)
1 Scope
This European standard deals with the requirements, the basic performance criteria and evaluation of
conformity for precast floor plates made of reinforced or prestressed normal weight concrete according to
EN 1992-1-1:2004, used in conjunction with cast-in-situ concrete (topping) for the construction of composite
floor slabs. Annex B gives different types of composite slabs made with floor plates.
These floor plates, with or without void formers, can include lattice girders or stiffening ribs incorporated during
the precasting.
They shall be manufactured in factories by casting, slip forming or extrusion.
The products covered by this standard are intended to be used as part of structural floors in applications such
as:
⎯ floors and roofs of buildings (including industrial and storage buildings, public buildings as schools,
hospitals, etc.);
⎯ parking/circulation areas;
⎯ cover for culverts;
⎯ etc.
The products may be used in seismic areas provided they fulfil the requirements specific to this use.
This standard does not cover:
⎯ reinforced floor plates with a nominal thickness less than 40 mm;
⎯ prestressed floor plates with a nominal thickness less than 50 mm;
⎯ floor plates with a very smooth upper face, such as defined in 6.2.5 of EN 1992-1-1:2004.

EN 13369:2004 shall apply.
3.1 Floor plates
3.1.1
floor plate
generally reinforced or prestressed concrete plates are used as permanent formwork for cast-in-situ concrete,
which, when hardened, forms a structurally composite slab with the floor plate
NOTE Some floor plates may be used as formwork for cast-in-situ concrete, with no contribution to the strength of the
finished floor.

reinforced floor plate
floor plate in which reinforcing steel constitutes the main reinforcement of the composite slab
3.1.3
prestressed floor plate
floor plate in which the prestressing steel constitutes all or part of the main reinforcement of the composite
slab
3.1.4
floor plate with lattice girders
floor plate in which continuous lattice girders are incorporated generally in the longitudinal direction (i.e.
parallel to the span) to provide strength and rigidity for transient situations

D.3 Anchorage of connecting reinforcement

The anchorage of connecting reinforcement in the concrete of the floor plate and in the topping should be
designed at ultimate limit state by calculation according to 8.4 and 8.5 of EN 1992-1-1:2004 or by tests. This
anchorage is provided by:
⎯ welded junction or by mechanical junction in the case of discontinuous diagonals (see Figure D.3).
In the case of a welded or mechanic junction, the anchorage is considered to be satisfactory, if the rules
for shear reinforcement (see 8.5 of EN 1992-1-1:2004) are complied with (see Figure D.3) and if the
strength of the welding complies with 7.2.4.2 of EN 10080.

E.1 Scope
This annex specifies different detailing in order to ensure the anchorage of bottom reinforcement of composite

E.2 General
E.2.1 Effective support length
To determine the nominal support length, the minimum value of the support length should be increased by
taking into account the values for tolerances and the effect of spalling.
In the absence of specific justification, the minimum values for actual effective support lengths of the floor
plates at their bearings should be:
⎯ if the floor plates are erected without intermediate props or if the main reinforcement is not protruding:
⎯ 50 mm bearing on masonry;
⎯ 30 mm bearing on steel or concrete.
⎯ if the floor plates are erected with intermediate props and if the main reinforcement is protruding:
⎯ 40 mm bearing on masonry;
⎯ 20 mm bearing on steel or concrete.
If these conditions are not complied with, an edge prop should be provided.

Three different types of connections can be specified:
a) the support length of the floor plate on the bearing is sufficient to achieve the anchorage of the lower

(see Figure E.1);

anchorage is achieved by means of protruding reinforcement (main reinforcement of the floor plate or
additional reinforcement) (see Figure E.2). Except in the case of special calculations or tests, the

the gap is prohibited.

E.3 Anchorage of lower reinforcements of the composite slab
E.3.1 Anchorage on the end support
E.3.1.1 General
The anchorage of lower reinforcement of the composite slab is achieved:
⎯ inside the floor plate (type 1);
⎯ by protruding reinforcement from edges of the floor plate (type 2);
⎯ by means of additional reinforcement in the topping above the precast floor plate (type 3).
47
EN 13747:2005 (E)
The anchorage design should be made by considering for anchorage length, the distance, la, between the
edges of the reinforcements and the internal face of the bearing.
E.3.1.2 Connection type 1 (see Figure E.1)
In the case of a connection as type 1 the anchorage is achieved inside the floor plate.
In the case of a connection as type 2 the anchorage is achieved by means of protruding reinforcements from
edges of the floor plate.
These reinforcements can be additional reinforcement located in the floor plate, overlapping the
reinforcements of the floor plate with a sufficient length.
In the case where these reinforcements are bent up reinforcement, these can be bent up in the floor plate, as
shown by Figure E.2.c), directly in front of the support with a mandrel of which the curve radius is at least
equal to four times the diameter of the bar.
The verification is made by considering a reinforced-concrete anchorage over distance la, taking into account
the transverse pressure according to 8.4.4 of EN 1992-1-1:2004.
In the case of connection as type 3, the anchorage is achieved by additional reinforcement located above the
floor plate in the topping. The following conditions should be complied with:
a) the nominal thickness of the floor plate, hp, should not exceed one half of the thickness of the composite
slab (hp ≤ ht / 2) ;
b) the transfer of the anchorage-force is ensured by overlapping on a length equal to the anchorage length
lb,net plus, except in the type case shown in Figure E.6 d), the distance v between the main
reinforcements of the floor plate and the additional reinforcements located above the floor plate in the
topping. In these zones the linkage between these two reinforcements is achieved by connecting
reinforcement as shown (see Figure E.6).

EN 13747:2005 (E)
a) by lattice girder b) by connecting reinforcement

Figure E.6 — Linkage between additional reinforcement and the floor plate reinforcement
It is recommended that a mechanically continuous extension of the lower reinforcement be anchored in order
to be able to resist accidental positive moments (settlement of the support, explosion, etc.).
E.3.2 Anchorage in special cases
When the composite slab is constructed after the continuous support is placed (slipforming wall for example)
or when the composite slab is hung up on the bearing (wall or beam) the connection between the support and
the composite slab should be ensured by hanging reinforcement as shown in Figures E.7 and E.8.

Annex F
(informative)
Design of composite slab
F.1 General
The floor plate concrete strength and characteristics to be taken into account in permanent situations are
those stated by the manufacturer at 28 days.
The floor plate should contain all or part of the main reinforcement required in the composite slab.
The resistance and stability of composite slabs made of floor plates result from their association with in situ
concrete and possibly voids formers.
Providing shear forces can be transferred through the interface of the floor plate with the in situ concrete (see
Annex C), the design of composite slabs is identical to the design of monolithic slab offering the same
configuration.
This design should be carried out by reference to EN 1992-1-1:2004 by taking into account the following
considerations.
When the applied load, Qp, is greater than 10 kN/m2, the effective span taken into account for the calculation
should be in accordance with 5.3.2.2 of EN 1992-1-1:2004. Otherwise, if Qp ≤ 10 kN/m2, the effective span are
given in Table F.1 depending on the type of bearing support.
NOTE The reduction of the effective span for applied loads lesser than 10 kN/m2 is justified by the narrow width of
the strut on the support.

F.2 Connections between adjacent floor plates

The connection details may be given in project specifications.
53
EN 13747:2005 (E)
Examples of reinforcement details between adjacent floor plates are shown in Figure F.1. Where partial or
total mechanical continuity across the connection is to be relied upon, the relevant details from the design
criteria may be adopted and detailed.

b) with protruding floor- -plate reinforcement
c) with protruding bent floor plate reinforcement
d) by additional reinforcement anchored in the floor plate

(cross section to span direction)
NOTE For the last case (Figure F.1 d)), a protection of the protruding additional reinforcement should be provided.
54
EN 13747:2005 (E)
F.3 Bending ultimate limit state

The bending ultimate limit state design should be made by applying EN 1992-1-1:2004 with following rules.
Reinforcement for transversal bending moment should comply with EN 1992-1-1:2004.
The upper member of resisting void formers can take into account in the compressive resisting member of the
composite slab.
In the case where the compressive member of the composite slab is constituted by different materials (rib of
floor plates, cast-in-situ concrete, resisting void formers) the strength of these different materials should be
considered.
When non prestressed reinforcement are used in prestressed floor plate and when these are not located at
the same depth as the prestressed reinforcements, the tensile force in the non prestressed reinforcement
should be deduced from their stress-strain diagram.
NOTE The minimum area of non prestressed reinforcement should not be taken as less as 1,2 times the area
required in ultimate limit state verification, but not greater than As,min = 0,18 (fctm/fyk) bt d where bt is the mean width of the
tension zone.
F.4 Serviceability limit state
F.4.1 General
Two cases should be considered:

⎯ case of "thin" floor plates;
⎯ case of "thick" floor plates.
F.4.1.1 Case of "thin" floor plates
A floor plate is considered to be "thin" when its thickness, hp, complies with:
hp ≤ (ht/2 or 80) mm whichever is the lesser
where ht is the nominal thickness of the composite slab, in mm.
In the case of thin floor plates, the following considerations a) and b) should be made:
a) the design of the composite slab can be made by not considering the different stages of the construction;
b) the transverse bending moment should be not considered when otherwise the following conditions are
complied with:
⎯ the composite slab is supported on two opposite sides;
⎯ the applied load is mainly static;
⎯ the imposed load is limited to categories A and B according to EN 1991-1-1:2004 (premises for
residential use, hospitals, offices);
⎯ the traffic load is restricted to traffic category F according to EN 1991-1-1:2004 (traffic and parking
areas for light vehicles).
55
EN 13747:2005 (E)
NOTE 1 When the above conditions are complied with or when the width of the floor plates is lower than 1,20 m,
transverse reinforcements are not required in the floor plate other than that required for transient situations (storage,
handling and installation) and reinforcement above the joint is only a consideration and not a rule.
NOTE 2 In other cases, a minimum quantity of reinforcement should be placed in the floor slab in order to limit cracking
due to shrinkage. It may be placed in either the floor plate or the topping and should represent at least (20/fyk) % of the
cross section of the slab (fyk is the yield strength of the reinforcement concerned, in MPa).
F.4.1.2 Case of "thick" floor plates
When hp > (ht/2 and 80) mm, each stage of the construction should be considered and the transverse
distribution of loads should be investigated.
The checks of normal stresses should take into account the different construction phases.
Transverse bending should be verified in accordance with F.4.1.1 b) above. If these conditions are not
complied with, the effect of joint between floor plates should be considered for the calculation.
F.4.2 Serviceability limit state design of composite slab made of reinforced floor plate
F.4.2.1 Stress limitation and crack control
The serviceability limit states relating to stress limitation and crack control may be deduced from 7.2 and 7.3
of EN 1992-1-1:2004.
F.4.2.2 Deflection control
The verification of the deformation limit state of composite slab involves limiting the active deflection in order
to prevent disorders in the works supported by the floor.
Active deflection is due to:
⎯ the part of the permanent load applied to the finished floor system before construction of supported works,
for which the verification is carried out, as a result of long time creep deformation, considered as a long-
term action;
⎯ the permanent load applied after construction of the supported works, for which the verification is carried
out, considered as a long-term action;
⎯ the variable loads applied after construction of the supported works, for which the verification is carried
out, considered as a short-term action;
⎯ the part of differential shrinkage between the floor plate concrete and the cast in-situ concrete that takes
place after construction of the supported works, considered as a long-term action.
The limit value for active deflection depends on the type of works supported by the floor (fragility of partitions
and floor finishing, etc.). The active deflection is limited to:
⎯ for masonry partitions (e.g. gypsum plaster tiles) and/or brittle floor finishing: L/500 ;
⎯ for other partitions and/or non brittle floor finishing: L/350 ;
⎯ for roof element: L/250.
where L is the span of the floor, in metres.
56
EN 13747:2005 (E)
The simplified method given hereafter should be used for uniformly distributed loads. We can distinguished
the following applied loads:
Gv are the permanent loads (with self weight) applied on the floor before the erection of the brittle floor
finishing (dead loads before), in kN/m2;
Ga is the self weight of the brittle floor finishing (brittle loads), in kN/m2;
Gp are the permanent loads applied on the floor after the erection of the brittle floor finishing (dead loads
after), in kN/m2;
Q are the variable loads (live loads), in kN/m2.
The corresponding isostatic bending moments are:
MGv
MGa and MGv+Ga = MGv + MGa
MGp and MGv+Ga+Gp = MGv + MGa + MGp
MQ and MGv+Ga+Gp+Q = MGv + MGa + MGp + MQ
Ecm is the tangent modulus of elasticity of the cast in-situ concrete according to Table 3.1 of
EN 1992-1-1:2004, in MPa and Ecmv the corresponding long-term modulus of elasticity according to 7.4.3 of
EN 1992-1-1/2004.
Except for more accurate calculation:
⎯ Ecmv = Ecm/(1 + ĳ) with ĳ = 2;
⎯ the steel-concrete effective modular ratio is taken as 15;
⎯ the precast-cast in-situ concrete effective modular ratio is taken as 1 for the calculation on the basis of
uncracked section.
The cracking moment Mcr corresponds to a concrete tensile stress fctm in the homogenized section.
The total deflection is equal to:
wt = ȟt wt,fc + wt,uc (1− ȟt)
wt,fc = (MGv+Ga+Gp / Ecmv /fc + MQ / Ecm.Ifc ) L2 / 10
wt,uc = (MGv+Ga+Gp / Ecmv.Iuc + MQ / Ecm.Iuc ) L2 / 10
57
EN 13747:2005 (E)
where
ȟt = 0 if MGv+Ga+Gp+Q ≤ Mcr and ȟt = 1 − (Mcr / MGv+Ga+Gp+Q)0.5 if MGv+Ga+Gp+Q > Mcr ;
Iuc is the uniform inertia of the uncracked section, in mm4;
Ifc is the uniform inertia of the fully cracked section, in mm4.
The deflection to deduce is the one that occurred before the erection of the brittle floor finishing.
⎯ If this erection occurs just after the unpropping:
w1 = wfc1 ȟ1 + wuc1(1 − ȟ1)
wfc1 = (MGv+Ga / Ecm.Ifc ) L2 / 10 and wuc1 = (MGv+Ga / Ecmv.Iuc ) L2 / 10
ȟ1 = 0 if MGv+Ga ≤ Mcr and ȟ1 = 1 − (Mcr / MGv+Ga)0.5 if MGv+Ga > Mcr.
⎯ If this erection occurs a very long time after the unpropping:
w2 = wfc2 ȟ2 + wuc2(1 − ȟ2) ;
wfc2 = (MGv / Ecmv.Ifc + MGa / Ecm.Ifc) L2 / 10 and wuc2 = (MGv / Ecmv.Iuc + MGa / Ecm.Iuc) L2 / 10 ;
ȟ2 = 0 if MGv+Ga ≤ Mcr and ȟ2 = 1 − (Mcr / MGv+Ga)0.5 if MGv+Ga > Mcr.
⎯ According to the passed time between the unpropping and the erection of the brittle floor finishing:
wa = w1 + ȥ (w2 − w1)
where ȥ is a coefficient of interpolation comprised between 0 and 0,5. Except for more accurate calculation,
ȥ may be taken as:
ȥ = 0,5 t/90 for t ≤ 90 days (with t in days);
ȥ = 0,5 for t > 90 days.
The deflection to consider is equal to wt − wa, and should be lower than the limits given above.
NOTE The continuity may be taken into account changing the isostatic moment with the moment of the considered
span and keeping the floor span between supports for the calculation of w.
For floor plates with lattice girders, this deflection may be reduced by a coefficient (no lower than 0,85) which
should be demonstrated by testing. Two identical floor plates (concrete type, dimensions, etc.), with for only
difference the absence of diagonal reinforcement, should be tested. The deflection of the floor plates is
compared in order to demonstrate the positive influence of the lattice girder.

F.4.3 Serviceability limit states design of composite slabs made of prestressed floor plates
F.4.3.1 Stress limitation and crack control
F.4.3.1.1 Case of "thin" floor plate
In the absence of more accurate calculation, the entire cross section of the floor plate can may be assumed to
be submitted to an average prestressing stress, σpm with σpm = Fpm/Ac where Ac is the sectional area of the
floor plate and Fpm is the final prestress force.
NOTE The calculation of the state of stresses in the floor plate is not very satisfactory taking into account relative
uncertainties on the position of tendons, on the levelling of props or on the unrecoverable deformations taken during
storage. However, if the stresses at the bottom and at the top of the floor plate are difficult to evaluate, we can determine
with a good accuracy the average prestress which is not modified during the erection phases.
In order to ensure durability of the reinforcement towards the corrosion, the longitudinal bending moment
under applied loads should be restricted to:
Mcr = W [σp,m + 0,7 fctm]
where
σp,m is the average prestress, in Mpa;
fctm is the mean value of axial tensile strength of the floor plate concrete, in Mpa;
Mcr is the limit value of the bending moment at the serviceability limit state, in Nmm;
W is the lower inertia modulus of the composite slab, in mm3.
F.4.3.1.2 Case of "thick" floor plate
A full analysis may be performed taking into account the different construction stages, the statically
indeterminate prestressing moments above supports and the moment distribution due to long time effect of
prestress force, shrinkage and creep of the concretes.
F.4.3.2 Deflection control
F.4.2.2 applies taking in addition in consideration the deferred differential effects of the prestressing action:
⎯ a part of the prestressing force acting only on the floor plate;
⎯ the other part acting on the composite slab.
In the case of thin floor plates, the section is considered to be uncracked if the rules given in F.4.3.1.1 are
complied with.
F.5 Transverse bending design of composite slab

Reinforcement for transversal laps that will support transversal bending moment should comply with 8.7 of
EN 1992-1-1:2004.
When the transverse moment should be considered, transverse reinforcement should be required in order to
counter this transverse moment.
59
EN 13747:2005 (E)
These transverse reinforcements should be located:
⎯ in the cast-in-situ concrete;
⎯ only above the joints between floor plates, providing the mechanical continuity be overlapping of
transverse reinforcements of the floor plate (see Figure F.2).
Figure F.2 — Transverse reinforcement above the joint
I In the case of particularly heavy or dynamical loads, it should be necessary to hang the shear force in the
cast-in-situ concrete by means of hangers (see Figure F.3), or to provide adequate joints on floors plate edges
(see Figure F.4). In the latter case, the shear force is hung, according to the intensity of the force, either by the
roughness of the lateral face of the joint of which the shape should provide a correct grouting, or by a
longitudinal groove.

Annex G
(informative)
Concrete strength at time of prestressing
G.1 General
G.1.1 Procedure
The minimum compressive strength that the concrete has to reach before prestressing (release) should be
determined by crushing cube or cylinder specimens. If the tested specimens are different than the
standardised cylinder (150 × 300) mm, coefficients of correlation should be applied.
The specimens should be sampled during manufacture, should undergo the same heat treatment as the floor
plates, and should be stored in the same environment until the time of compressive strength testing.
NOTE The concrete strength at the time of transfer of prestressing may be determined by other methods (rebound
hammer, sound velocity, maturity measurement) after correlation by means of laboratory tests.
G.1.2 Interpretation of results
After the time considered necessary for the concrete to have hardened sufficiently for prestressing to go
ahead, the procedure described in Figure G.1 may be applied.
Other appropriate methods may also be applied provided the required minimum compressive strength, fcmin,p,
at release is as given in 4.2.3.2.5.
The results should be recorded.

(informative)
Composite slabs with void formers
H.1 General
This Annex gives some properties of void formers only for fire situation (not yet given in a European Standard).
If toxic gases are produced by inflammable void formers while burning they should be submitted to
appropriate standards, as regards the measure of their acceptability, because this topic is not covered by a
European Standard. The evaluation of the fire resistance, definitions and calculation rules should be taken
from EN 1992-1-2:2004.
H.2 Material properties

In the following clauses, material properties are reported coupled to some specific temperature values
meaning that, unless otherwise stated, other values may be interpolated among them.
H.2.1 Polystyrene/Air voids
Polystyrene is an insulating material up to approximately 100 °C. At higher temperatures it vaporises, leaving
an air void. Properties for polystyrene should be used up to 100 °C, and properties for an air void thereafter.
A large temperature difference across the air void is liable to occur in fire situations, giving rise to significant
convection within the air void, and radiation across the void increases as the temperature rises.
To make theoretical calculations with computer programs, "apparent" or "equivalent" values for the "moving"
air are considered.
The couples of values of Table H.1 may be taken.

ρ [kg/m3] 15 15 1 1
where T is the temperature, λ the thermal conductivity, c the specific heat capacity and ρ the density.
H.2.2 Clay
This material is, of course, rather stable of its own but the presence of voids, although very small, makes
convective air motions still rather effective, yielding "apparent" parameters specific to the geometry of the void
formers used.
The couples of values of Table H.2 may be taken.

H.3 Temperature profiles

To evaluate these profiles the heat flux algorithm and the general and surface parameters given
in EN 1992-1-2:2004 should be used with the specifications given in a) to c).
a) Radiative heat flux:
⎯ (view or) configuration factor for exposed surface = 1;
⎯ (view or) configuration factor for not exposed surface = 0;
⎯ emissivity coefficient of the fire compartment Ef = 0,8;
⎯ emissivity coefficient of the member Em = 0,7.
b) Convective heat flux:
⎯ coefficient of heat transfer for exposed surface = 25 W/m2 °C;
⎯ coefficient of heat transfer for not exposed surface = 9 W/m2 °C.
c) External temperature, above the composite slab, has been considered to be constant and equal
to : Te = 20 °C.
H.4 Other items to be considered
Very high temperatures may lead to thermal cracking within the precast floor plate. Although the overall
stability of the slab is not adversely affected immediately, thermal cracking of the bottom floor plate may be
minimised by transverse bars suitably anchored to the rib reinforcement and/or by other equivalent means.
Being the concrete cover the most important factor in fire resistance of floor plates, above the average
precautions must be taken in the factory control of the steel bars positioning.
An adequate increase to the anchorage of the reinforcement should be evaluated proportional to the fire
resistance required.

J.1 General
The aim of these tests is to determine the erection spans regarding to the following criteria:
⎯ flexural ultimate resistance;
⎯ flexural ultimate resistance at the supports (under negative bending moment);
⎯ flexural stiffness (or deformability);
⎯ shear ultimate resistance.
J.2 Determination of erection span
The distance between props or erection span temporary bearings, ler, is defined in Figure J.1.
a) without props
b) with props
Key

65
EN 13747:2005 (E)
In the case where an edge prop is used, the distance from the centre line of the edge prop to the face of the
floor plate bearing shall not exceed 250 mm, or the value determined by calculation or by test (stability of the
cantilevered part of the floor plate shall be checked).
The properties of the floor plate materials shall be taken as those specified by the manufacturer on the
delivery.
The erection spans, ler, shall satisfy both failure (condition a) and deflection (condition b) criteria in
considering the static systems of Figure J.2, which gives the maximum values for stress in the spans and at
the supports.

combination 2
combination 3
Figure J.2 — Static systems to be considered
J.2.1 Failure design (condition a)
The design load corresponding to the ultimate limit state for bending and shear force shall be at least equal to
that due to the combination of actions:
γGpl (Gpl + Gb) + γQco Qco + γQs Qs
66
EN 13747:2005 (E)
where
Gb self-weight of the floor plate void formers;
Gpl floor plate self-weight;
Qco weight of the cast-in-situ concrete;
Qs temporary loads during floor construction.
NOTE Until such time as European regulations set the value of Qs, it should be that given by site safety regulations
valid in the country where the floor plates are used. A value of 1 kN/m2 should be used.
J.2.2 Checking of the deflection (condition b)
For the combination of actions (Gpl + Gb + Qco), the mid-span deflection between props or between temporary
supports shall not be greater than the following values:
⎯ 10 mm if ler ≤ 4,00 m;
⎯ (ler/400) mm if ler > 4,00 m.
NOTE Different values should be specified for particular projects.
J.3 Equipment
The testing machine shall be a class 3 machine according to EN 12390-4. The loading device should be
articulated. The dial gauges used to measure deflection shall be capable of measuring 0,50 mm to within
0,01 mm.
J.4 Preparation of test piece

The test shall be performed between 0 °C and 40 °C. The temperature shall be recorded.
The test piece shall be a length of floor plate of, L or 2L in span, where L is the span approximately to ler
between the props or temporary supports.
NOTE It is possible to reduce the width of the floor plate to x times the distance between the centre axis of the lattice
girders or the stiffening ribs and to interpolate or extrapolate the obtained results to the total width of the floor plate.
The test piece shall be supported on rollers (at least one of which shall be free to rotate) with 50 mm ± 5 mm
wide and 10 mm ± 3 mm thick repartition pads if the lower face of the test piece is irregular.
The axis of the edge rollers shall be located at 50 mm ± 5 mm from the edges of the floor plate.
The load (P) shall be applied at positions shown in Figure J.3, by means of two 10 mm ± 3 mm thick
distribution pads capable of absorbing any surface irregularities.

NOTE For the negative moment, testing can be carried out with the arrangement of Figure a) placing the floor plate in
an overturned position.
68
EN 13747:2005 (E)
J.5 Loading
An initial loading, up to 10 % of the maximum expected load, followed by a return to zero shall be applied then
withdrawn, to seat the floor plate (seating load).
Loading shall then be applied as follows:
1) progressively and incrementally. After each load increment, the mid-span deflection of the test piece
shall be measured and corrected for bearing settlements which shall be measured at the same time
the mid-span deflection;
2) when the mid-span deflection corrected for bearing settlement has reached the limit value, the load
applied at that time shall be recorded (Pflim). The corresponding mid-span deflection and bearing
settlement should be recorded;
3) the load shall be removed and the residual deformation measured;
4) after 5 min to 10 min without load (where applicable) the floor plate shall be loaded to failure using
the same rate of loading as previously. The failure load, PR, is the maximum load the floor plate can
withstand.
NOTE During these loading phases, the increase in load should be stopped if an event requiring analysis occurs.
J.6 Interpretation of results

Two tests shall be carried out for each type of floor plate.
If the difference between the two results is greater than 15 % of the mean value, a third test is necessary and
the mean value is calculated on the basis of three tests.
The erection span, ler, shall be such that following four criteria are met:
⎯ the mid-span bending moment calculated with span, ler, and the combination of actions
(γGpl (Gpl + Gb) + γQco Qco + γQs Qs) applied in the relevant static system shall not be greater than
Mms (PR) / γE ;
⎯ the mid-span bending moment calculated with span, ler, and the combination of actions
(Gpl + Gb + Qco) applied in the relevant static system shall be not greater than the moment corresponding
to, Pflim, as determined under test conditions;
⎯ the support bending moment calculated with span, ler, and the combination of actions
(γGpl (Gpl + Gb) + γQco Qco + γQs Qs) applied in the relevant static system shall not be greater than
MS (PR) / γE ;
⎯ the shear force calculated with span, ler, and the combination of actions
(γGpl (Gpl + Gb) + γQco Qco + γQs Qs) applied in the relevant static system shall not greater than VR / γE.
69
EN 13747:2005 (E)
where
ler is the erection span, in m;
Mms (PR) is the mean mid-span failure moment obtained from the tests (2 or 3), in kNm;
Pflim is the value of the load applied in test procedures corresponding with the limit value of the at
mid-span deflection, in kN;
Ms (PR) is the mean support moment at failure obtained from the tests (2 or 3), in kNm;
VR is the mean shear force at failure obtained from the tests (2 or 3), in kN;
γE is the test coefficient taking into account the variation-coefficient of the model, relating to the
geometry of the floor plate and the strength of the materials.
NOTE The relevant static system is the static system given in J.2, which led to the maximum stress level in the
verification under consideration. Taking account of test results obtained on similar elements, the value of γE should be
taken as 1,20 in the absence of more accurate information.

The test report shall mention:
⎯ the identification of the test piece;
⎯ span of the floor plate or the test specimen;
⎯ the date of manufacture or some other code;

Anchorage capacity of loops
The values for the anchorage capacity of loops given in Table K.1, for a C20/25 concrete class, should be

When the thickness of cast in-situ concrete over the floor plate is not sufficient for the minimal anchorage
length of the loop, loop reinforcements may be used with a welded continuous bar at the bottom of the loops
(with the same steel grade and diameter). In this case, the minimum anchorage length of the loops over the
floor plate may be reduced applying a factor equal to 0,6, ultimate limit force values being the same.
If lower loops in the floor plate are at the level of the lowest longitudinal bars, the anchorage lengths given in
the table are not required anymore.
Spacing between the tops of the loops given in the table may be different, but:
⎯ no lower than 80 mm;
⎯ and to take for the ultimate limit force of this loop the same as for the loop with the same diameter and
anchorage length and with the lower spacing given in the table.
If the strength class of the cast in-situ concrete is greater than C20/25, it may be possible to:
⎯ increase the ultimate limit forces per loop by the ratio fctk/1,5 without exceeding the force corresponding
to the reach of the design yield strength of reinforcement (fctk is the characteristic axial tensile strength of
the cast in-situ concrete);
⎯ decrease the anchorage length of the loop in the floor plate by the ratio 1,5/ f ctk .
71
EN 13747:2005 (E)
Ultimate shear resistance is equal to the ultimate limit force per loop multiplied by the lever arm z spacing
between the tops of the loops ratio.
