Betongelementboken
Relevant readings from BEB:
Static system:
Individual elements, as simply supported.
Can also be used for small cantilevers with additional reinforcement.

Terminology
Slabs P
Forces perpendicular to the element
Bending of element
2D effect
9
Double-T (DT)
The optimization of the structural element derived
into the development of the DT beam. They provide
greater spans and reduced mass compared to HC.

Double-T Openings
Small openings
Openings between webs
Max. dimensions
2 m long
1 m wide (between webs)
Larger openings
Requires transvers connection to
adjacent elements

In the webs
Max. half of depth
Locations with small shear forces

Joints
Connection between elements of the same type to form a slab/plate.
Hollow core
Grouted joint

Design as a rectangular cross-section
Alternative 2
NA falls in the web
Flange carries all compression
Compression stress constant

Calculation method
Full prestress Stage I No cracks in SLS

Deflections (1)
Important to obtain good approximations of the deflections.
24
Deflections (2)
Stages of deformation history:
Double-T
Minimum topping to:
- Level the top surface
- Ensure load distribution
No composite action (30 mm)
Composite action (60 mm)
For reinforcement
26
Method
1) Calculate effective E-modulus (either or ) for the time stage
that is checked. There are multiple E values possible, depending on the
different loads and their application time.
2) Calculate average E-modulus ( ) for including the effect of creep.
3) When relevant, include the effect of shrinkage as an additional axial
force and moment produced by the concrete shrinkage strain on the
reinforcement (as we saw in Prestressed concrete)
4) Calculate deflections for each load. Need to calculate for the
transformed cross-section.
5) Check that the total deflection follows the recommended value
