Steel Nrec = Vrec = 0.4 kN

Design conditions:

• Minimum 5 fastenings per fastened unit• All visible failures must be replaced

Conditions:

• The intended use of the fastenings is to secure the deck position and to ensure a safe working platform during the erection state only. The fasteners serve as temporary fixation until the shear connectors of the composite beams are attached.• At each permanent composite deck support, it is recommended to drive at least one fastener per trough.• Every deck panel must be fixed at least with two fasteners at every permanent support.• Single layer sheet with a maximum thickness of 1.25 mm.• Sheeting grade up to S450 acc. to EN 10346.• Minimum base material thickness: 6 mm.• Minimum steel grade: S235 acc. to EN 10025-2.
