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.
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEMPeikko 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).

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 spe-cial 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.

4. STRUCTURAL BEHAVIORThe structural behavior and resistance of the trim-mer 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: Gen- eral structural rules and rules for buildingsEN 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:
where gHC is the self weight of the supported slab [kN/m2].
Figure 5. Load distribution during assembly time
L0 = length of supported slab
gHC
L /20

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

4.2 Normal use
Before the structure is given into use, the lat-eral 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 hollow-core 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 satis ed, it may be considered that PETRA will have to carry only imposed load situated within a triangular area shown on Figure 7.

The resistance values of standard PETRAs pre-sented 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 struc-tures 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 fi re situation
tensioned re rebar
compressed concrete(grouting + part of HC slab)
2) If it is possible to consider that the hollow-core oor keeps its transverse stiffness under con-ditions 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 hollow- core slabs.
5. APPLICATION5.1 Limitations for applicationThe 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 accord-ing 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 require-ments for minimum bearing length speci ed in the type approval of the hollowcore slab.

hf 200 80
hf > 200 100
The width of lateral joints between hollowcore slabs has to be within limits indicated in Table 3 to avoid cases illustrated on Figure 9.

a) Joint is too narrow the side plate interferes with the upper edge of the supporting slab

If the requirements concerning bearing length and width of joint of the hollowcore slab are different from those indicated in Table 2 and Table 3, Peikko technical support will design PETRA with special shape.
5.2 Design assumptions
5.2.1 Design values of actions
The design values of actions on PETRA are deter-mined according to EN 1990.
During assembly time, only actions resulting from the self weight of the hollowcore slab are consideredDuring normal use situation, both self weight and imposed loads are creating the sum of actions. During re situation, the load combination act- ing on PETRA consists of both self weight and imposed load.
5.2.2 Global behaviour of the hollowcore fl oor
The reactions from PETRA are transferred to sup-porting 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).
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. INSTALLATIONPETRA must be installed on an undamaged hol-lowcore 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 hori-zontal 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).

8. DESIGN DIAGRAMSPETRAs 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 bluePETRA strong GreyPETRA 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 de n-ing curves.
If partial factors for loads are different than those indicated on the design diagrams, the maximum imposed load on PETRA is obtained as:
( )NA
Q
kNA
GNA HC
1,5.q1,35q += g
whereqk is the maximum value of imposed load obtained from load diagramsGNA; QNA are the partial factors determined according to National AnnexesIndividual 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 PETRA with high lengths (L > 2400 mm) PETRA carrying direct linear or point load
