6.4 - BS EN 1994-1-1 Reduction factors for SMD Products

These figures are calculated in accordance with latest SCI Publication P405 and NCCI document PN001a-GB: Resistance of headed stud shear connectors in transverse sheeting. kmod (modification factor from Table 2.1 of PN001a) is already applied to TR+ values where appropriate. The factors in this table should be applied to the minimum resistance for a stud in a solid slab from equations (6.18) and (6.19) of BS EN 1994-1-1.

1 = Figures are based on 95mm LAW shear studs except TR80+ which is based on 120mm LAW.

2 = All factors are based on ‘mesh at nominal top cover’, except Parallel which is based on ‘below head of stud’
