Engineering advice
Connector placement along the beam
The HVB is a flexible connector and may be uniformly distributed between points where large
changes in shear flow occur. These points may be supporting points, points of application of
point loads or areas with extreme values of bending moments.
Partial shear connection
Strength:
The minimum connection depends on the design code used:
a) In EN 1994-1-1 and BS 5950 designs, N/Nf , must be at least 0.4. This is increased depending on span length and decking geometry.
b) In AISC, N/Nf must be at least 0.25.
c) In CISC, N/Nf must be at least 0.50.
Deflection control only:
If the shear connection is needed for deflection control only, there is no minimum degree of connection. However, minimum allowable connector spacing applies and steel beam must have
enough strength to carry the self-weight and all imposed loads.

Connector positioning, spacing and edge distances

General positioning
or
or
Position the HVBs so that the shear force is transferred symmetrically to the beam. The HVB
orientation parallel to the axis of the beam is preferred.
Positioning on metal decks - ribs transverse to beam
1) One, two or three HVB's per rib
