On the load side, safety factors F are introduced.
For dead load: F = 1.35 (acc. DIN 1045-1)

For wind load: F = 1.50 (acc. DIN 1045-1)

3.2.2 Actions and required varifications
The action forces HEd, VEd, MEd and the action moment NEd have to be determined according to the calculation basics of app.
7. The ratio between horizontal action and bending moment is limited acc. to the calculation basics to:
HEd
≤ 1,5 [1/m] HEd [kN]; MEd [kNm]
MEd
2
It has to be proofed that the design action value Ed is less or equal to the design resistance value Rd:
HALFEN bolts
Ed ≤ Rd see table 3.1 and 3.2
Ed = Design action value (NEd, VEd, MEd)
Rd = Design resistance value (NRd, VRd, MRd)
3
In the simplest case (permanent loads and variable loads are working in the same direction) the following equation for the
HGB channels
design action value is valid:
Ed = G ⋅ Gk + Q ⋅ Qk
Gk; Qk = characteristic value of permanent load respectivly variable load acc. to local standards for load assumptions
G; Q = partial safety factors for permanent and variable action

level the concrete surface and to apply a slight slope to the
outer edge of the concrete. This is to ensure that the trapezo-
idal sheet metal rests only on the HTU channel. According to
the german approval a heightened installation up to 5 mm is
possible. If, on the other hand, the manufacturer of the tra-
pezoidal sheet metal requires a total support width of more
