EN 14992:2007(E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 14992:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 229 “Precast concrete products”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR and was examined by and agreed with a joint working party appointed by the Liaison Group CEN/TC 229-TC250, particularly for its compatibility with structural Eurocodes.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2010. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Construction Products Directive(s) (89/106/EEC). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document is one of a series of product standards for precast concrete products. For common aspects reference is made to EN 13369: Common rules for precast concrete products, from which also the relevant requirements of the EN 206-1: Concrete — Part 1: Specification, performance, production and conformity are taken. The references to EN 13369:2004 by CEN/TC 229 product standards are intended to make them homogeneous and to avoid repetitions of similar requirements. Eurocodes are taken as a common reference for design aspects. The installation of some structural precast concrete products is dealt with by ENV 13670-1: Execution of concrete structures — Part 1: Common rules, which has at the moment the status of a European Prestandard. In all countries it can be accompanied by alternatives for national application and it should not be treated as a European Standard. The programme of standards for structural precast concrete products comprises the following standards, in some cases consisting of several parts: EN 1168, Precast concrete products — Hollow core slabs. EN 12794, Precast concrete products — Foundation piles. EN 12843, Precast concrete products — Masts and poles. EN 13224, Precast concrete products — Ribbed floor elements. EN 13225, Precast concrete products — Linear structural elements. EN 13693, Precast concrete products — Special roof elements. EN 13747, Precast concrete products — Floor plates for floor systems. EN 13978, Precast concrete products — Precast concrete garages. EN 14843, Precast concrete products — Stairs. EN 14844, Precast concrete products — Box culverts.

EN 15050, Precast concrete products — Bridge elements. prEN 15258, Precast concrete products — Retaining wall elements. This standard defines in Annex ZA the application methods of CE marking to products designed using the relevant EN Eurocodes (EN 1992-1-1 and EN 1992-1-2). Where, in default of applicability conditions of EN Eurocodes to the works of destination, design Provisions other than EN Eurocodes are used for mechanical strength, the conditions to affix CE marking to the product are described in ZA.3.4. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 14992:2007(E) 5 Introduction The evaluation of conformity given in this standard refers to the completed precast elements which are supplied to the market and covers all the production operations carried out in the factory. For design rules reference is made to EN 1992-1-1. Additional complementary rules are provided where necessary.

EN 14992:2007(E) 15 Annex A (informative)
Additional design rules A.1 Composite wall elements A.1.1 Loadbearing design A composite wall should be designed like a solid wall. Without special calculation the minimum strength of the precast element and the in-situ concrete should be taken into consideration. The designed reinforcement may be located inside the element and/or in the in-situ concrete. The same applies to walls acting as deep beams. For the design of the reinforcement the joints of the composite wall should be taken into consideration. This is of particular importance for the determination of the effective depth d (see Figure A.1 and A.2). The design of laps has been specified by EN 1992-1-1:2004, 8.7. If a lap between bars requires transverse reinforcement according to EN 1992-1-1:2004, 8.7.4.1 (3) links, u-bars and lattice girders can be used separately or in combination (Figure A.1). If lattice girders are used as transverse reinforcement, the maximum diameter of the lapped bars should be 16 mm. It is recommended to limit the maximum cross section that may be lapped to 1200 mm2/m. A.1.2 Shear at the interface The connection between cast in-situ concrete and compound unit in the final state should fulfil subclause 6.2.5 of EN 1992-1-1:2004. A.1.3 Loadbearing compression joints in case of loadbearing walls Subclause 10.9.2 of EN 1992-1-1:2004 may be used. The required reinforcement in subclause 10.9.2 (2) of EN 1992-1-1:2004 may be met by lattice girders too. In case of composite walls the whole cross section may be taken as loadbearing provided the joint is completely filled with in-situ concrete and has a width of at least 30 mm. If this is not provided, only the cross section of the in-situ concrete should be taken as loadbearing (see Figure A.2). The effective depth is the distance between the centre of concrete force and the reinforcement.

Key 1 rib 2 longitudinal bar 3 transverse reinforcement 4 concrete layer Figure A.3 — Examples of reinforcement of a rib A.2.2 Reinforcement for sandwich walls The following specifications should apply: a) base panel; it should be reinforced as a solid wall; b) facing panel; the layer should contain vertical and horizontal reinforcement. The reinforcement should be designed to support the actions due to the connectors, the weight of this layer, thermal effects and long term effects in service. The maximum distance between two bars of the reinforcement should not exceed 200 mm; c) reinforcement connectors; the connectors should be designed to connect the base panel with the facing panel and to transfer to the base panel the loads acting upon the facing panel. A.2.3 Reinforcement for lightened walls The following recommendations may apply: a) characteristics of the ribs and concrete connections:  ribs are defined according to A.2.1;  maximum space between two concrete ribs: 40 times the thickness of the facing panel in the case of transversal ribs; 50 times the thickness of the facing panel in the case of longitudinal ribs;  minimum thickness of a rib or diameter of a concrete connection: 50 mm;  concrete ribs and connections may be substituted by stainless steel elements suitably designed or other connecting systems.

18 Annex B (informative)
Concreting of composite walls on site Unless special provisions are taken the precast part of the wall should not have a temperature below 5 °C during concreting. After concreting the fresh concrete should not have a temperature below 10 °C for at least 3 days or should have a minimum compressive strength of 5 MPa before the temperature of the fresh concrete falls below 0 °C. The maximum formwork pressure may be taken from Figure B.1.
