Overview

EN 12737:2004+A1:2007 - published by CEN - specifies requirements for reinforced and prestressed precast concrete floor slats for slatted floors in livestock housing. The standard covers material, production, finished-product requirements, test methods and conformity assessment for slats used by stock and stockmen. It references the common rules in EN 13369:2004, includes Amendment 1 (2007), and supports the EU Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC). It does not cover slats designed for loadings other than livestock and stockmen.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and definitions: floor slat types (single beam, twin slat, multiple slat, perforated panel) and load classes (A1–A3 for cattle, B1–B3 for pigs/sheep) tied to animal mass ranges.
  • Material requirements: concrete constituents and reinforcement rules follow EN 13369; high-alumina and super‑sulphated cements excluded; attention to aggregates that may become slippery under hoof abrasion.
  • Concrete strength: minimum strength classes specified - at least C35/45 for reinforced and C45/55 for prestressed components.
  • Geometry and tolerances: nominal beam widths, gap widths and hole diameters defined (see Table 1); dimensional tolerances for length, height, width and hole diameter (see Table 2); flatness and chamfer/radius limits (≤5 mm for load class A, ≤3 mm for B).
  • Surface and durability: upper faces free from burrs/projections; no factory cracks > 0.1 mm.
  • Mechanical loading and design: characteristic linear and point vertical/horizontal loads (qk, Fk,v, Fk,h) per load class (see Table 4); load combinations, partial safety factors (1.25 for ultimate limit state), and design by calculation procedures.
  • Testing and conformity: specified test methods (compressive strength, geometrical checks, cement content, w/c ratio, water absorption), evaluation of conformity, marking and documentation requirements. Annexes include finished product inspection, consignment acceptance, CE marking method choices and relationship to EU directives.

Applications and users

Who uses EN 12737:

Floor slats for use solely by stock and stockmen shall be designed in accordance with the indicated vertical and horizontal variable characteristic loads. Self weight of floor slats and other additional loads (e.g. self weight of pen partitions, feeding troughs, .) shall be dealt with in the design. The following variable characteristic loads shall be taken:  a vertical characteristic linear load qk;  a vertical characteristic point load Fk,v;  a horizontal characteristic point load Fk,h. Values of qk, Fk,v and Fk,h shall be as given in Table 4. For single beams these values shall be multiplied by 1,1. !!!!Table 4"""" — Characteristic loading values Load class Linear load qk

Partial safety factors for material properties shall be 1,5 for concrete and 1,15 for reinforcing and prestressing steel. For reduction of partial safety factors, Annex C of EN 13369:2004 shall apply. 4.3.3.3.4 Section and member design The following aspects shall be taken into account: a) Internal forces and moments In multiple slats with at least one intermediate transversal connection, it may be assumed that loads acting at the crossings of longitudinal beams and transversal connections are distributed over the various beams as if the connections have infinitely great stiffness. This may be assumed only on the condition that the cross sectional area of the connections equals at least 0,85 times the cross sectional area of the beams, and that the upper and lower reinforcement bars of the connections possess satisfactory anchorage. The torsional stiffness may only be taken into account when the torsional stresses are checked and taken on by reinforcement. b) Ultimate limit state The shear reinforcement of floor slats may be omitted on the condition that the design value of the applied shear force is not greater than the design shear resistance of the section of a slat without shear reinforcement. c) Serviceability limit state Design in the serviceability limit state shall include the following limit states: 1) Cracking
