Construction Details: steel, concrete and composite

CCP: Walls

• Given that the slab is supported between beams, which in this case are placed perpendicular to the wall, it is not necessary to establish additional connection between the floor and the wall than that provided by the friction and adhesion between the concrete.

• It is necessary to establish the wall's support mechanism for the earth pressures since it is not advisable that they rely exclusively on the compression layer of the floor slabs. It is recommended that detail EHU020 be included in the floor plan.

• Detail EHU020 should also be employed if the transverse bending of the floor slab is considerable.
