5 Notes on design
▶ The shear force loading of the slabs in the area of the insulation joint is to be limited to  VRd, max , whereby VRd, max , acc. to BS EN
1992-1-1 (EC2), Exp. (6.9) is determined for θ = 45 ° and α = 90 ° (slab load-bearing capacity).
▶ With CV50, H = 180 mm is the lowest Isokorb® height, this requires a minimum slab thickness of h = 180 mm.
▶ For cantilever slab constructions without live load, stressed from moment loading without direct shear force effectiveness or
lightweight constructions, please use the Schöck design software or contact our Technical Design Department.
▶ The indicative minimum concrete strength class of the external structural component is C32/40.
▶ Note FEM guidelines if a FEM program is to be used for design.

Deflection/Camber
Deflection
The deflection factors given in the table (tan α [%]) result alone from the deflection of the Schöck Isokorb® under 100% steel uti-
lisation. They serve for the estimation of the required camber. The total arithmetic camber of the balcony slab formwork results
from the calculation acc. to BS EN 1992-1-1 (EC2) and BS EN 1992-1-1/NA plus the deflection from Schöck Isokorb®. The camber of
the balcony slab formwork to be given by the structural engineer/designer in the implementation plans (Basis: Calculated total
deflection from cantilever slab + floor rotation angle + Schöck Isokorb®) should be so rounded that the scheduled drainage direc-
tion is maintained (round up: with drainage to the building facade, round down: with drainage towards the cantilever slab end).

Maximum expansion joint spacing
If the structural component length exceeds the maximum expansion joint spacing e, expansion joints must be installed in the ex-
terior concrete structural components at right angles to the insulation plane, in order to limit the effect as a result of temperature
changes. With fixed points such as, for example, corners of balconies, parapets and balustrades or with the employment of the
supplementary types HPXT or EQXT half the maximum expansion joint spacing e/2 from the fixed point applies.
The shear force transmission in the expansion joint can be ensured using a longitudinally displaceable shear force dowel, e.g.
Schöck Dowel.

The reinforcement of the reinforced concrete slab is determined from the structural engineer’s design. With this both the effec-
tive moment and the effective shear force should be taken into account.
In addition, it is to be ensured that the tension bars of the Schöck Isokorb® are 100% lapped. The existing inner slab reinforce-
ment can be taken into account as long as the maximum separation to the tension bars of the Schöck Isokorb® of 4⌀ is main-
tained. Additional reinforcement may be required.

5 Information about on-site reinforcement
▶ Alternative reinforcement is possible. Determine lap length acc. to BS EN 1992-1-1 (EC2) and BS EN 1992-1-1/NA. A reduction
of the required lap length using mEd/mRd is permitted. For the lapping (l0) with the Schöck Isokorb® types KXT15 - KXT50 a
length of the tension bars of 465 mm and with types KXT55 - KXT100 a length of the tension bars of 695 mm can be included
in the calculation.
▶ The reinforcement at the free edges Pos. 4 of the structural component perpendicular to the Schöck Isokorb® should be select-
ed as low as possible so that it can be arranged between the upper and lower reinforcement layer.
▶ The indicative minimum concrete strength class of the external structural component is C32/40.

concrete

The tight fit of the pressure bearings to the freshly poured concrete is to be ensured, therefore the upper edge of the masonry re-
spectively of the concreting section is to be arranged below the lower edge of the Schöck Isokorb®. This is to be taken into ac-
count above all with a different height level between inner slab and balcony.
▶ The concreting joint resp. the upper edge of the masonry is to be arranged below the lower edge of the Schöck Isokorb®.
▶ The position of the concreting section is to be indicated in the formwork and reinforcement drawing.
▶ The joint planning is to be coordinated between precast concrete plant and construction site.

4 Hazard note: Compression joints

Compression joints are joints which, with unfavourable loading combination, remain always in compression. The underside of a
cantilever balcony is always a compression zone. If the cantilever balcony is a precast part or an element slab, and/or the floor is
an element slab, then the definition of the standard is effective.
▶ Compression joints are to be indicated in the formwork and reinforcement drawing!
▶ Compression joints between precast parts are always to be grouted using in-situ concrete. This also applies for compression
joints with the Schöck Isokorb®!
▶ With compression joints between precast parts (on the inner slab or balcony side) and the Schöck Isokorb® a in-situ concrete
resp. poured strip of ≥ 100 mm width is to be carried out. This is to be entered in the working drawings.
▶ We recommend the installation of the Schöck Isokorb® resp. the pouring of the balcony-side compression joint already in the
precast concrete plant.

Ultimate limit state (moment and shear force)

Internal forces: mEd = -[(γG · g +γQ · q) · lk 2/2 + γG · gR · lk]
mEd = -[(1.35 · 6.5 + 1.5 · 2.5) · 2.12²/2 + 1.35 · 1.5 · 2.12] = –32.4 kNm/m
vEd = +(γG · g +γQ · q) · lk + γG · gR
vEd = +(1.35 · 6.5 + 1.5 ·2.5) · 2.12 + 1.35 · 1.5 = +28.6 kN/m

Serviceability limit state (deflection/precamber)

Deflection factor: tan α  = 0.8 (from table, see page 58)

p  = [tan α · lk · (mpd /mRd)] · 10 [mm]
p  = [0.8 · 2.12 · (28.2/34.6)] · 10 = 13.8 mm

 Are existing horizontal loads e.g. from wind pressure  taken into account? Are additional Schöck Isokorb® supplementary

concrete
type HPXT required for this?

 Are the requirements with regard to fire protection explained and is the appropriate addendum entered in the Isokorb®
type description in the implementation plans?

drainage taken into account? Is the maximum centre distance of 300 mm for the Isokorb® bars observed?

 Is, due to connection with height offset or to a wall, instead of Isokorb® type KXT the type KXT-HV, KXT-BH, KXT-WO, KXT-
