Composite floors

A composite floor consists of a combination of profiled steel sheeting and concrete (and additional reinforcement, where applicable) connected in a shear-resistant manner so that they act together as a single structural member.

Regulatory framework

DIBt grants general construction technique permits (aBG) for the design and execution of composite steel and concrete floors where the design resistance values are not calculated in accordance with Eurocode 4 (DIN EN 1994), but design assisted by testing is used.

For non-regulated construction products used in these construction techniques, DIBt grants national technical approvals (abZ) also in combination with the general construction technique ('combined decision'). European Technical Assessments (ETAs) can also be issued for the related construction products.

Please also refer to the applicable design and execution rules, cf., in particular, MVV TB, Parts A 1 and A 2.

National procedure

To prepare an abZ/aBG for your construction product, we need an application from you. We recommend that you contact us prior to doing so. Feel free to send us your enquiry informally via email to dibt(at)dibt(.)de or to the competent technical contact listed in the top right.

For a first assessment, please send us the following information:

  • Description of the construction product and its intended field of use
    • e.g. material, configuration, number of sizes, variants, dimensions
    • e.g. use in walls, ceilings, interior construction, building services
  • Description of the construction technique and its field of application
    • e.g. design of walls, ceilings, elements, etc., and interaction of components
    • e.g. application in foundation engineering, reinforced concrete construction, building insulation; as load-bearing or non-load-bearing component; under static and quasi-static loading; fire exposure; other environmental exposures
  • Information regarding impact on regulatory concerns
    • in particular structural integrity, fire protection, health and environment protection, sound insulation as well as thermal performance
  • Explanation of need for an abZ/aBG
  • Contact details
    • preferably email address and/or telephone number, as well as name, organisation/company, and postal address

We will then contact you to clarify the next steps.

If you already hold a DIBt approval and/or construction technique permit and wish to apply for an amendment, supplement, or renewal, please use the form provided below.
