    Voided slabs EC 2
    esacd.11

    Voided slabs give engineers a way to eliminate from a part of a floor slab The engineer can use generic features available inSCIA Engineer such as
    concrete that has no structural function. Void formers in the middle of a fl at loading, combinations, reviewing of results, checking of deformations. Above
    slab eliminate 35% of the slabs self- weight. With this module the engineer is these generic features there are also more specific features available for
    able to adequately model, design and check a floor system made out of voided slabs (design code: EC-EN) such as:
    voided slabs. Focus is also laid on the optimization of the design and drafting

    Modelling of voided slabs
    Predefined libraries of void formers
    Modelling of voided slabs is based on the generic capabilities of SCIA
    Respecting the EC EN Engineer. The engineer creates a standard analysis model including loads,
    load cases, combinations, etc. A typical set of load cases are:
    Made together with know-how coming directly from the market
    1. Self weight panel + topping
    Automatic determination of zones in which voided slabs are not allowed 2. Permanent load on the floor
    Automatic adaptation of stiffness and self weight for voided/solid zones 3. Live load on the floor

    Practical rebars and shear reinforcement 4. Wind load effects from building sway.
    The combinations for the calculation of the reinforcement and internal forces
    are standard Ultimate Limit State combinations and the Service Limit State
    Use of voided slabs is getting more and more attention in the market combinations according to Eurocode.
    because of its numerous advantages. The concept of a voided slab is very
    simple. Void plastic formers are placed between the upper and lower static
    reinforcement of a concrete slab. They replace concrete in zones where it
    has no structural benefit. Main benefits are:
    l The floor weigh is up to 35% lower compared to solid slabs
    l It is possible to create larger spans
    l More open floor layout i.e. use of less columns.

    Design of voided slabs
    The design is executed in the same way as for solid composite slab. The
    reduced self weight and adapted stiffness are taken into account.
    Void formers (Balls or Spheres) have to be left out in areas where the shear
    exceeds the reduced shear capacity of the voided slab. These areas are
    replaced by solid concrete. This occurs principally near columns and walls
    where shear forces are relatively high.
    Punching checks are done as for a solid flat slab due to solid areas around
    columns.
    The floor can be checked by standard SCIA Engineer modules according to
    BS 8110 (esacd.02.09), EN 1992- 1- 1 (esacd.02.01) and EN 1992- 1- 2
    (Fire) (esacd.07.01). The voided slab customization is developed according
    to the Eurocode.

    Void formers
    A predefined library of void formers is available in SCIA Engineer.

    Determination of voided slab zones


    The user is able to use common results, uz, Rz, Mx, My, Mxy, Vzx, Vzy, to
    analyze the floor. Especially for voided slabs a special function has been
    developed in order to check the area for which the shear capacity of the
    floors with void formers is failing.
    SCIA Engineer will determine automatically in which regions voided slabs
    are not allowed. Subregions out of massive concrete will be created.
    Rebars
    Also the longitudinal reinforcement in the slab can be designed in SCIA

    The user can use the existing module for design of reinforcement according
    These layouts can be exported to a DWG file or directly to Allplan.

    reinforcement per side of the slab.
    All reinforcement layers can be stored in an asffile. This file format is used for
    export of reinforcement from SCIA Engineer to Allplan.
    Interoperability
    Finally, the model including the reinforcement can be sent to Nemetschek
    Allplan for further detailing and finalization of the drawings incorporating
    automation that makes the total process very economical.

    Shear reinforcement
    The standard punching shear check module (esacd.03) can be used for the
    check of punching shear above a support. This module is enhanced to check
    punching shear in voided slabs too.

    The module checks the punching shear in all necessary perimeters and
    plots the reinforcement numerically.
    For voided slabs the theoretical shear reinforcement can be transformed to
    a practical arrangement using a set of practical links. The arrangements of
    the punching reinforcement are a practical interpretation of EC2.

    Advanced functionality
    Additionally it is possible to override the designed reinforcement by a user-
    defined reinforcement. Complementary checks for horizontal shear at the
    interface between precast and site execution concrete are available.
    According to the new EN code, clause 6.2.5, the check of the connection
    plane (interface) between the precast panel and topping can be performed.
    Required modules
    The user is able to define the roughness of the top of the panel and the
    esas.00
    panel thickness for the check. The reinforcement contributing to horizontal
    shear resistance is punching shear reinforcement (first limit), lattice girder
    reinforcement (second limit) and lattice girder plus ball cage reinforcement
    beyond second limit i.e. in the voided area.
    The output of all checks can be directed to the SCIA Engineer Engineering
    Report.
