Static System – single-span beam

Ultimate limit state, serviceability limit state, and vibration design are fulfilled for all floor systems shown.

deflection w (q_d) = l / 350

q_d = (1 + k_def) ∙ (g_k + ѱ₁ ∙ q_k)
creep coefficient k_def = 0.6
permanent load g_k = g + q_A
dead load incl. fill g
load of floor construction q_A
imposed load q_k = q_N
housing q_N = 2 kN/m², ѱ₁ = 0.5
education q_N = 3 kN/m², ѱ₁ = 0.7

1. Natural frequency f₁ (g_k) ≥ 8.0 Hz or 8.0 Hz > f₁(g_k) ≥ 5.1 Hz.
The first natural frequency is calculated only with permanent loads. Vibration acceleration a (g_k) ≤ 0.1 m/s², deflection w (F = 1 kN) ≤ 0.25 mm.
