1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM
Peikko PETRA is for supporting hollowcore slabs around oor openings. PETRA consists of an L-shaped front
plate welded together with two side plates. The additional reinforcing bar provides resistance during re.
PETRA is usually supported by two parallel slabs (Figure 1) and one or more slabs are supported by the front
plate (Figure 2). The joints between the hollowcore slabs and PETRA have to be grouted before imposed loads
are applied to the structure. The trimmer beam, consisting of PETRA and concrete grouting, transfers loads
from the supported slab to parallel supporting slabs (Figure 3).

slabs

The resistance of the trimmer beam is provided

by the bending strength of the front plate during
normal use of the structure and by the composite
action of the re rebar and concrete grouting at re
situation.

The shape and dimensions of PETRA depend on
the layout of the hollowcore oor. The length of the
front plate is determined by the width of the opening
in the hollowcore oor. The depth of the front plate
corresponds to the depth of the supported slab; the
depth of side plates corresponds to the depth of the
supporting slabs. In basic types of PETRA the depth
of the supporting slabs is the same as the depth of
the supported slab (Figure 4 a). In other cases, side
plate variations have to be used (Figure 4 b). In special cases (for example when PETRA is supported by
a wall), the side plate may be straight (Figure 4 c).
The standard dimensions of structural parts of basic
types of PETRA are indicated in Table 1.

Different types of PETRA are described in chapters

7 and 8.

various organizations, including Inspecta Certication, VTT Expert Services, Nordcert, SLV, TSUS and
SPSC among others
4. STRUCTURAL
BEHAVIOR
The structural behavior and resistance of the trimmer beam depends on the properties of PETRA as
well as on the properties of the hollowcore slabs
and the global behavior of the hollowcore oor.
PETRA is designed to carry half of the self weight
of the supported slab(s) and a part of imposed load
from the composite oor in accordance with the
following standards:
EN 1993-1-1: Design of steel structures: General structural rules and rules for buildings
EN 1992-1-1: Design of concrete structures:
General rules and rules for buildings
The following design situations are considered for
PETRA: assembly time, normal use situation and
re situation. The design at re situation is made
with reference to EN 1992-1-2.
4.1 Assembly time

During assembly time, it is considered that PETRA
is loaded only by the self weight of the supported
slab. Since lateral joints between slabs are not
grouted at this point, the supported slab is acting
as a simply supported beam with PETRA as one
of the supports. The load carried by PETRA is then
determined according to Figure 5 as:
g HC,R =
6
g HC . L 0
2
where gHC is the self weight

of the supported slab [kN/m2].
gHC
Plates
L0 / 2
The resultant of this load is situated outside of the

shear centre of PETRA and causes torsion of the
front plate (Figure 6). The maximum length of the
supported slab is determined by PETRAs resistance
to torsion during assembly time.
Figure 6. Torsion of the front plate
mt
eq
g HC, R
4.2 Normal use

Before the structure is given into use, the lateral joints between the hollowcore slabs have to be
grouted and hardened. Thereafter, it is possible to
consider transverse distribution of loads between
hollowcore slabs. This type of analysis is allowed by
the Annex C of the European Standard for hollowcore slabs (EN 1168) under the condition that the
horizontal displacements of the hollowcore oor are
restricted by:
adjacent structural parts
friction in supports
friction in lateral joints
ring reinforcement
concrete topping with mesh reinforcement
If at least one of the above mentioned requirements
is satised, it may be considered that PETRA will
have to carry only imposed load situated within a
triangular area shown on Figure 7.
Peikko Group 9/2010
Figure 7. Load distribution during normal use situation

L0 = length of supported slab
60
q1
The resistance values of standard PETRAs presented as diagrams at the end of this document are
calculated considering distribution of imposed load
according to Figure 7. In cases where the above
mentioned design model for imposed load may not
be accepted, the load distribution from Figure 5 has
to be used for imposed loads. In such case, Peikko
technical support will design PETRA according to
individual requirements (see the input data sheet at
the end of this document).
4.3 Fire situation

During re situation, the front plate of PETRA is
directly exposed to re without any additional re
protection. For this reason, the resistance of the
front plate is neglected in re design. The design
of PETRA again depends on the structural model
chosen for the hollowcore oor:
1)
If it is considered that the hollowcore oor
looses transverse stiffness when exposed to re,
the structural action of the front plate is replaced
by a reinforced concrete beam formed by coupling
the additional re rebar with compressed concrete
of the joint grouting (Figure 8). In this case, both
permanent and imposed load carried by PETRA
have to be determined according load distribution
model from Figure 5. The load bearing behavior of
the reinforced concrete end beam is guaranteed for
structures with re resistance class R60. For structures with higher re resistance classes, adequate
re protection has to be provided to the surface of
the front plate directly exposed to re.
Figure 8. Reinforced concrete mechanism during fire situation
compressed concrete
(grouting + part of HC slab)
2)
If it is possible to consider that the hollowcore oor keeps its transverse stiffness under conditions mentioned in paragraph 4.2 also during re
situation, the loads from the supported slab will be
transferred to supporting slabs by lateral joints and
no re reinforcement is needed. At the same time,
it is always recommended to use re reinforcement
in following cases:
PETRA carries direct linear or point load;
PETRA is supporting two (2) or more hollowcore slabs.
5. APPLICATION
5.1 Limitations for
application
The standard PETRAs are designed to carry static
loads. In the case of dynamic and fatigue loads,
individual design has to be made.
PETRA is designed to be used in indoors and dry
conditions. When using PETRA in other conditions,
the surface treatment must be adequate according to environmental exposure class and intended
operating life.
The shape of PETRA is optimized to be used with
most of hollowcore slabs produced in European
countries. The maximum bearing lengths provided
by PETRA shown in Table 2 should satisfy requirements for minimum bearing length specied in the
type approval of the hollowcore slab.

The width of lateral joints between hollowcore slabs

5.2 Design assumptions

5.2.1 Design values of actions
The design values of actions on PETRA are determined according to EN 1990.
b) Joint is too wide the bearing length of the side plate

is not sufficient
During assembly time, only actions resulting

from the self weight of the hollowcore slab are
considered
During normal use situation, both self weight
and imposed loads are creating the sum of
actions.
During re situation, the load combination acting on PETRA consists of both self weight and
imposed load.
5.2.2 Global behaviour of

the hollowcore floor
The reactions from PETRA are transferred to supporting slabs over a relatively small area of the
side plates. The resistance of the supported slab
to withstand such point load should be checked by
the designer of the hollowcore oor (especially with
small hollowcore slabs or when there are openings
in the supporting hollowcore slab).
Table 3. Limits for widths of lateral joints
The reaction transmitted by the side plates should be

calculated using load distribution models presented
in Chapter 4. If triangular distribution of imposed
load according to Figure 7 may be considered, the
design value of vertical reaction in the side plate of
PETRA is:

6. INSTALLATION
PETRA must be installed on an undamaged hollowcore slab to the location determined in the
plan drawing. The slab has to be placed so that it
is in contact with the re rebar or with the horizontal steel strip welded to the front plate of long
PETRA hangers (Figure 10). When determining the
position of PETRA and the length of the supported
slab, please consider that the minimum distance
between the edge of the opening in the oor and
the supported slab is 51 mm for PETRA with depth
of front plate hF 200 mm and 57 mm for other
PETRAs (Figure 10).

The gap between PETRA and the hollowcore slab

should be fully cast when concreting the oor. The
concrete should be hardened before applying loads
to the oor.
On the top ange of side plates of PETRA are 12
mm holes for fastening PETRA to supporting hollow
core slabs with expander bolts (Figure 12).
Figure 13. PETRA must be installed on an undamaged

If short PETRA (L < 1200 mm) is used without re

rebar, the arrangement between the supported slab
and the edge of the opening should be as shown
on Figure 11.

8. DESIGN DIAGRAMS
PETRAs are produced in three models:
PETRA model primarily used to support slabs with lengths of 4 6 m.
PETRA strong model primarily used to support longer slabs or slabs subjected to high imposed loads.
PETRA special model for special requirements
The colours of PETRA models:
PETRA Light blue
PETRA strong Grey
PETRA special Green
The type of PETRA slab hanger should be selected using design diagrams on pages 14-25. The design diagrams
of PETRA give the maximum value of imposed load as a function of the length and weight of the supported
slab gHC. If other permanent loads g (concrete topping ) are acting on the hollowcore slab before the lateral
joints between slabs are hardened, the total permanent load should be taken as gHC+g.
Loads in design diagrams are characteristic ones. Peikko has taken account partial safety factors when dening curves.
If partial factors for loads are different than those indicated on the design diagrams, the maximum imposed
load on PETRA is obtained as:
(1,35 ) g
NA
q NA =
where
qk
GNA; QNA
HC
+ 1,5.q k
NA
is the maximum value of imposed load obtained from load diagrams

are the partial factors determined according to National Annexes
Individual design will be done by Peikko technical support for special cases:
load distribution models in the hollowcore oor are different than those assumed for standard PETRAs
