Conclusion
• SDM (Simple Design Method) is on the safe side in comparison with advanced calculation results.
• Concerning the elongation of reinforcing steel mesh, it remains generally below 5 %.
• Mechanical links between slab and columns can reduce the deflection of a composite flooring system under a fire situation but they are not necessary as a constructional detail.
• SDM is capable of predicting in a safe way the structural behaviour of composite steel and concrete floor subjected to standard fire.
