This Part of BS 5950 gives recommendations for
the design of composite slabs with profiled steel
sheeting. It covers slabs spanning only in the
direction of span of the profiled steel sheets.
This code applies to the design of composite slabs
in buildings. It does not apply to highway or railway
bridges, for which reference should be made to
BS 5400-5.
For the design of composite steel beams with a
composite slab as the concrete flange, reference
should be made to BS 5950-3.1.
Diaphragm action produced by the capacity of the
composite slab (or of the profiled steel sheets at the
construction stage) to resist distortion in its own
plane is not within the scope of this Part of BS 5950.
For the design of profiled steel sheeting as a
stressed skin diaphragm, reference should be made
to BS 5950-9.
