Global analysis - General
Calculation of internal forces, deformations and stresses at
serviceability limit state shall take into account the following
effects:
shear lag;
creep and shrinkage of concrete;
cracking of concrete and tension stiffening of concrete;
sequence of construction;
increased flexibility resulting from significant incomplete
interaction due to slip of shear connection;
inelastic behaviour of steel and reinforcement, if any;
torsional and distorsional warping, if any.

Effects of creep of concrete
primary effects
The effects of shrinkage and creep of concrete and non-uniform changes of
temperature result in internal forces in cross sections, and curvatures and
longitudinal strains in members; the effects that occur in statically determinate
structures, and in statically indeterminate structures when compatibility of the
deformations is not considered, shall be classified as primary effects.

Effects of creep and shrinkage of concrete
Types of loading and action effects:
In the following the different types of loading and action effects are distinguished by a
subscript L :
L=P for permanent action effects not changing with time
L=PT time-dependent action effects developing affine to the creep coefficient
L=S action effects caused by shrinkage of concrete
L=D action effects due to prestressing by imposed deformations (e.g. jacking of
supports)

Effects of cracking of concrete
simplified method
For continuous composite beams with
the concrete flanges above the steel
section and not pre-stressed, including
beams in frames that resist horizontal
forces by bracing, a simplified method
may be used. Where all the ratios of
the length of adjacent continuous
spans (shorter/longer) between
supports are at least 0,6, the effect of
cracking may be taken into account by
using the flexural stiffness E

Part 3:
Limitation of crack width
21
G. Hanswille
Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing.
Institute for Steel and
Composite Structures
University of Wuppertal-Germany
Control of cracking
General considerations
If crack width control is required, a minimum amount of bonded
reinforcement is required to control cracking in areas where tension due to
restraint and or direct loading is expected. The amount may be estimated
from equilibrium between the tensile force in concrete just before cracking
and the tensile force in the reinforcement at yielding or at a lower stress if
necessary to limit the crack width. According to Eurocode 4-1-1 the
minimum reinforcement should be placed, where under the characteristic
combination of actions, stresses in concrete are tensile.
minimum reinforcement
control of cracking due to direct loading
Where at least the minimum reinforcement is provided, the limitation of
crack width for direct loading may generally be achieved by limiting bar
spacing or bar diameters. Maximum bar spacing and maximum bar
diameter depend on the stress
s
in the reinforcement and the design
crack width.

class
(1) For XO and XC1 exposure classes, crack width has no influence on
durability and this limit is set to guarantee acceptable appearance. In
absence of appearance conditions this limit may be relaxed.
(2) For these exposure classes, in addition, decompression should be
checked under the quasi-permanent combination of loads.

Deflections
Deflections due to loading applied to the
composite member should be calculated
using elastic analysis taking into account
effects from
- cracking of concrete,
- creep and shrinkage,
- sequence of construction,
- influence of local yielding of
structural steel at internal supports,
- influence of incomplete interaction.

Effects of local yielding on deflections
For the calculation of deflection of un-propped beams, account may
be taken of the influence of local yielding of structural steel over a
support.
For beams with critical sections in Classes 1 and 2 the effect may be
taken into account by multiplying the bending moment at the support
with an additional reduction factor f
2
and corresponding increases are
made to the bending moments in adjacent spans.
f
2
= 0,5 if f
y
is reached before the concrete slab has
hardened;
f
2
= 0,7 if f
y
is reached after concrete has hardened.
This applies for the determination of the maximum deflection but not
for pre-camber.

Vibration- General
EN 1994-1-1: The dynamic properties of floor beams should satisfy
the criteria in EN 1990,A.1.4.4
EN 1990, A1.4.4: To achieve satisfactory vibration behaviour of
buildings and their structural members under
serviceability conditions, the following aspects,
among others, should be considered:
the comfort of the user
the functioning of the structure or its structural
members
Other aspects should be considered for each project
and agreed with the client

Vibration - General
EN 1990-A1.4.4:
For serviceability limit state of a structure or a structural member not to
be exceeded when subjected to vibrations, the natural frequency of
vibrations of the structure or structural member should be kept
above appropriate values which depend upon the function of the
building and the source of the vibration, and agreed with the client
and/or the relevant authority.
Possible sources of vibration that should be considered include walking,
synchronised movements of people, machinery, ground borne vibrations
from traffic and wind actions. These, and other sources, should be
specified for each project and agreed with the client.
Note in EN 1990-A.1.4.4: Further information is given in ISO 10137.

Logarithmic damping decrement
For the determination of the maximum
acceleration the damping coefficient or
the logarithmic damping decrement
must be determined. Values for composite
beams are given in the literature. The
logarithmic damping decrement is a
function of the used materials, the
damping of joints and bearings or support
conditions and the natural frequency.
For typical composite floor beams in
buildings with natural frequencies
between 3 and 6 Hz the following values
for the logarithmic damping decrement
can be assumed:
=0,10 floor beams without not load-
bearing inner walls
=0,15 floor beams with not load-
bearing inner walls

Vibration vertical vibrations due to walking of
persons
People in office buildings sitting or standing many
hours are very sensitive to building vibrations.
Therefore the effects of the second and third
harmonic of dynamic load-time function should be
considered, especially for structure with small
mass and damping. In case of walking the pacing
rate is in the rage of 1.7 to 2.4 Hz. The verification
can be performed by frequency tuning or by
limiting the maximum acceleration.
In case of frequency tuning for composite
structures in office buildings the natural frequency
normally should exceed 7,5 Hz if the first, second
and third harmonic of the dynamic load-time
function can cause significant acceleration.
Otherwise the maximum acceleration or
velocity should be determined and limited to
acceptable values in accordance with
