Check for vertical shear resistance

 According to 9.7.5, ES EN 1994-1-1:2015, the vertical shear resistance, 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 should be
determined according to the method given in ES EN 1992-1-1. According to clause 6.2.2,
ES EN 1992-1-1:2015, the design shear resistance 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 is calculated as:
1
𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 = 𝑉𝑅𝑑,𝑐 = [𝐶𝑅𝑑,𝑐 ∗ 𝑘 ∗ (100 ∗ 𝜌1 ∗ 𝑓𝑐𝑘 )3 + 𝑘1 ∗ 𝜎𝑐𝑝 ] ∗ 𝑏𝑤 ∗ 𝑑𝑝 ≥ 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑,𝑚𝑖𝑛

But the 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑,𝑚𝑖𝑛 is:

𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑,𝑚𝑖𝑛 = (𝑣𝑚𝑖𝑛 + 𝑘1 ∗ 𝜎𝑐𝑝 )* 𝑏𝑤 ∗ 𝑑𝑝

The minimum requirement for 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 is related to the fact that the member without reinforcement
still has shear resistance. According to clause 6.2.2(1), ES EN 1992-1-1 the value needed for
calculation 0f 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 are

The sheeting can be treated as reinforcement. i.e. 𝐴𝑠𝑙 = 𝐴𝑝𝑒 = 1185 𝑚𝑚2 /𝑚 in accordance with
figure 1 the smallest width of the cross-section in the tensile area 𝑏𝑤 is calculated per meter width
as follows:
𝑏 1000
𝑏𝑤 = 𝑏 ∗ 𝑏𝑜 = ∗ 162 = 540𝑚𝑚/𝑚

The percentage of longitudinal reinforcement is:

𝜌1 = 540∗120 = 0.0183
𝑁𝐸𝑑
The design axial force is 𝑁𝐸𝑑 = 0 and therefor 𝜎𝑐𝑝 = =0
𝐴𝑐

According to clause 6.2.2(1), ES EN 1992-1-1 the design shear resistance 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 is:
1
𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 = 𝑉𝑅𝑑,𝑐 = [𝐶𝑅𝑑,𝑐 ∗ 𝑘 ∗ (100 ∗ 𝜌1 ∗ 𝑓𝑐𝑘 )3 + 𝑘1 ∗ 𝜎𝑐𝑝 ] ∗ 𝑏𝑤 ∗ 𝑑𝑝 ,where 𝑘1 = 0.15,
1
𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 = 𝑉𝑅𝑑,𝑐 = [0.12 ∗ 2 ∗ (100 ∗ 0.0183 ∗ 25)3 + 0.15 ∗ 0] ∗ 540 ∗ 120 ∗ 10−3

𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 = 55.62 𝑘𝑁/𝑚

The minimum value is:

𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑,𝑚𝑖𝑛 = (𝑣𝑚𝑖𝑛 + 𝑘1 ∗ 𝜎𝑐𝑝 )* 𝑏𝑤 ∗ 𝑑𝑝
3 1 3 1
2
𝑣𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 0.035 ∗ 𝑘 2 ∗ 𝑓𝑐𝑘 = 0.035 ∗ 22 ∗ 252 = 0.49 𝑁/𝑚𝑚2

𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑,𝑚𝑖𝑛 = (0.49 + 0.15 ∗ 0) ∗ 540 ∗ 120 ∗ 10−3 = 31.752𝑘𝑁/𝑚 < 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 = 55.62𝑘𝑁/𝑚
Generally, the check is carried out as:
𝑉𝐸𝑑
≤1
𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑
Since it is unlikely that the profiled steel sheet can satisfy the requirement of “full anchorage”, the
design shear resistance is equal to the minimum value:
𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 = 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑,𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 31.752𝑘𝑁/𝑚
Also, the required condition is satisfied since that is
𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑 = 𝑉𝑣,𝑅𝑑,𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 31.752𝑘𝑁/𝑚 > 𝑉𝐸𝑑 = 28.3 𝑘𝑁/𝑚 …………….OK

Therefore using this method the slab is not ok.

For composite slabs with ductile behavior, the partial connection method can be used for the
verification of the resistance to longitudinal shear, clause 9.7.3(8), ES EN 1994-1-1.

The shear span required for full shear connection is determined as:
𝑁𝑐 = 𝑢,𝑅𝑑 ∗ 𝑏 ∗ 𝐿𝑥 ≤ 𝑁𝑐,𝑓

𝑀𝑝𝑟 = 5.59(1 −  ) ≤ 4.47

So that, ≥ 5.59

According to Figure 9.6, ES EN 1994-1-1, the plastic resistance moment is given by:
𝑀𝑅𝑑 = 𝑁𝑐 ∗ 𝑧 + 𝑀𝑝𝑟

𝑀𝑅𝑑 = 𝑁𝑐 ∗ 𝑧 + 𝑀𝑝𝑟

For region  ≥ 0.2, the Plastic moment resistance is given as:

𝑀𝑅𝑑 = 1000 (117 − 7.652 ) + 5.59 − 5.59

𝑀𝑅𝑑 = 5.59 + 29.744 − 2.312 ……………………….

For  < 0.2, the Plastic moment resistance is given as:

For composite slabs with ductile behavior, the partial connection method can be used for the
verification of the resistance to longitudinal shear, clause 9.7.3(8), ES EN 1994-1-1.
The shear span required for full shear connection is determined as:
𝑁𝑐 = 𝑢,𝑅𝑑 ∗ 𝑏 ∗ 𝐿𝑥 ≤ 𝑁𝑐,𝑓

The distance to the nearest support, 𝐿𝑥 , required for full shear connection may be determined by:

At a distance 𝐿𝑥 (< 𝐿𝑠𝑓 ) from support, the degree of shear connection is given by:
𝑁 𝐿 𝑋
 = 𝑁 𝑐 = 𝐿 𝑥 = 𝑋𝑐
𝑐𝑓 𝑥𝑓 𝑓

According to clause 9.7.3(7), ES EN 1994-1-1, the verification is carried out using the simplified
partial interaction diagram, and for any cross-section along the span it has to be shown that the
corresponding design bending moment, MEd, does not exceed the design resistance moment MRd.
This criterion can be written as:

According to Figure 9.6, ES EN 1994-1-1, the plastic resistance moment is given by:

𝑀𝑅𝑑 =  ∗ 𝑁𝑐,𝑓 ∗ 𝑧 + 𝑀𝑝𝑟

302
𝑀𝑅𝑑 = 1000 (117 − 7.652 ) + 5.59 − 5.59

𝑀𝑅𝑑 = 5.59 + 14.872𝐿𝑥 − 0.5775𝐿𝑥 2 for region  ≥ 0.4

For  < 0.4, the plastic resistance moment is:

Assuming the slab is not safe against the ultimate limit state in longitudinal shear, calculate
the degree of interaction due to end anchorage provided by ф19 headed stud welded through
the steel sheet (one dowel per rib) if the design resistance of the stud PbRd governed by the
bearing resistance of the sheet is equal to 5.0 kN.
According to clause 9.7.4, ES EN 1994-1-1, the design resistance of a headed stud welded through
the steel sheeting profile used for end anchorage should be taken as the smallest of the design shear
resistance of the stud in accordance with 6.6.4.2, EN 1994-1-1, or the bearing resistance of the
sheet should be determined with the following expression:
𝑃𝑝𝑏,𝑅𝑑 = 𝑘Ѱ ∗ 𝑑𝑑𝑜 ∗ 𝑡 ∗ 𝑓𝑦𝑝,𝑑

The design shear resistance of the end anchorage is:

The degree of shear connection is:

According to Euro code 4, the design resistance against longitudinal shear of slabs with end
anchorage, may be determined by the partial connection method with Nc increased by the design
resistance of the end anchorage. Check whether the end anchorage provided in Assignment 4 is
sufficient for the ultimate limit state in longitudinal shear.
