Check of hollow core slabs EN 1168

esacd.06.01 Check of hollow core slabs EN 1168

Special check of hollow core slabs for shear, splitting, shear and torsion, support conditions and punching according EN 1168. With this module the user is capable to perform
detailing checks of hollow core slabs according to the latest EN-code. This module
should be used in addition to EN 1992-1-1 and 1992-1-2.

Checks of hollow core slab according EN 1168

In conjunction with Scia ODA the user has a very

powerful tool, which calculates and checks hollow core slabs with or without openings in a very
fast and user-friendly way. With check of hollow
core slabs the user can easily and quickly perform checks according EN 1168, in addition to the
normal EN 1992-1-1. The various checks include
splitting, punching and shear/torsion interaction.
Using the general cross-section module the main
user is able to define his customized set of hollow
core cross-sections.

Finally the (R&D) user can calculate so-called

load-capacity diagrams. Using the batch processor module the user can calculate the maximum
span for a predefined template of a hollow core
slab. He can research the influence of individual
parameters, like load, concrete grade, time of
loading, creep factor, set of strand patterns on the
maximum allowable span.

This module was developed in collaboration with

engineers with expertise in precast concrete
resulting in an effective approach to every day
engineering problems. Using the main user
philosophy the lead engineer defines a template
calculation / document of a hollow core slab calculation in SciaEngineer which means that the common users can run this template in Scia ODA or
SciaEngineer. They only need enter the parameters defined by the main user thus reducing the
possibility of mistakes and in the meantime reduce
the cost of repetitive engineering considerably.
The library of cross-sections can consist of each
kind of composite hollow core slab. The main
user can easily parameterize the thickness of the
topping. Then the common user can pick a set of
hollow core he wants to calculate and pick the
appropriate strand patterns for it. Automatically
after document regeneration the checks are performed and the user sees if the hollow core slab
is ok or not.

Highlights
A state-of-the-art tool for the analysis of pre-

stressed concrete structures, in particular in

combination with construction stages and
time dependent analysis.
