 Schöck Isokorb® T for reinforced concrete structures

Some connection situations cannot be realised with those standard product variants presented in this Technical Information. In
this case special designs can be requested from the application engineering department (for contact details see page3 ). This ap-
plies, for example, with additional requirements as a result of prefabricated construction (limitations due to technical manufac-
turing constraints or through transportation width), which can possibly be met using coupler bars. The bending of bars required
for special constructions are carried out in the factory in each case on the individual steel bar. With this, it is monitored and en-
sured that the conditions of the general building supervisory approvals and of BS EN 1992 1-1 (EC2) and BS EN 1992-1-1/NA are
observed with regard to bending of reinforcing steel.

Attention: If reinforcing steel in the Schöck Isokorb® is bent or bent and bent back on-site, the observation and the monitoring of
the respective conditions lie outside the influence of Schöck Bauteile GmbH. Therefore, in such cases, the warranty is invalidated.

 Note on shortening threaded rods

The threaded rods may be shortened on site provided at least two threads remain visible after installation, levelling and final
tightening of the balcony structure. Nuts must be re-checked after cutting to ensure they have remained fully tightened.

P Punctual R Arrangement right of viewpoint
V Shear force U Balcony with height offset downwards or wall connection
N Normal force O Balcony with height offset upwards or wall connection

④ Performance levels
Performance levels include load-bearing levels and fire protection. The various load-bearing levels of an Isokorb® type are num-
bered consecutively, beginning with 1 for the lowest load-bearing level. Different Isokorb® types with the same load-bearing level
do not have the same load-bearing capacity. The load-bearing level must always be determined via the design and calculation ta-
bles or the calculation program.

The load-bearing level has the following name components:

▶ Main load-bearing level: Combination of internal static force and number
▶ Secondary load-bearing level: Combination of internal static force and number

Internal static force of the main load capacity Internal static force of the secondary load-bearing level
M Moment V Shear force
MM Moment with positive or negative force VV Shear force with positive or negative force
V Shear force N Normal force
VV Shear force with positive or negative force NN Normal force with positive or negative force
N Normal force
NN Normal force with positive or negative force

The name component for the fire protection contains the fire resistance class or R0 if no fire protection is required.

Fire resistance class

REI R – load bearing capacity, E – integrity, I – insulation under the effects of a fire
RO No fire protection

⑤ Dimensions
The following name components are part of the dimensions:
▶ Concrete cover CV
▶ Bond length LR, bond height HR
▶ Insulating element thickness X, height H, length L, wIdth W
▶ Diameter of thread D

⑥ Generation
Each type designation ends with a generation number.

On-site fire resistance

Schöck Isokorb® fire protection configuration in connection with steel structures
Fire-resistant cladding of the Schöck Isokorb® must be planned and installed on site. The same on-site fire safety measures apply
as for the overall load-bearing structure.  
Two design variants are possible for fire protection requirements on the steel structure:
▶ The entire structure can be clad on site using fire protection boards. Board thickness is dependent on the requisite fire protec-
tion class.
The board cladding is either to be led through the insulation layer or the cladding of the steel structure is to overlap the clad-
ding of the Schöck Isokorb® by 30 mm.
▶ The steel structure including the outer threaded rods is painted with a fire protection coating. In addition to this the Schöck
Isokorb® is clad on site with fire protection boards of the appropriate thickness.
Requirements on the fire protection material:
▶ Thermal conductivity λp 0.11 [W/mK]
▶ Specific thermal conductivity cp 950 [J/kgK]
▶ Bulk density ρ 450 [kg/m³]
Fire protection

To achieve the fire resistance duration R according to BS EN 1993-2-1 the following board thicknesses t and following anchoring
depths tE are  required:

Anti-corrosion protection
The stainless steel used in the Schöck Isokorb® T types SK, SQ corresponds to material no.: 1.4362, 1.4401,1.4404 or 1.4571. Ac-
cording to general technical approval Z-30.3-6 Annex 1 “Components and connecting elements made of stainless steel”, these
Steel – reinforced concrete

steels are classified as resistance class III/medium.

Connections of Schöck Isokorb® T types SK, SQ in conjunction with a steel end-plate that has been galvanised or coated with an-
ti-corrosion protection are not at risk of bimetallic corrosion (see approval Z-30.3-6, section 2.1.6.4). As far as the connections of
Schöck Isokorb® are concerned, the surface area of the lower-grade material (steel end-plate) is much larger than that of the
stainless steel (bolts, washers and saddle plate), failure of the connection due to bimetallic corrosion is excluded.

 Note on shortening threaded rods

The threaded rods may be shortened on site provided at least two threads remain visible after installation, levelling and final
tightening of the balcony structure. Nuts must be re-checked after cutting to ensure they have remained fully tightened.

Fig. 9: Schöck Isokorb®: Reliable positional security during concreting enables the achievement of the required installation accuracy

If the Schöck Isokorb® produces the connection between a steel component and a reinforced concrete component, the question of
installation accuracy is of particular importance. DIN 18202∶2013-04 “Tolerance in building construction - Buildings” must be ob-
served in this respect!. Derived therefrom, tolerances on the required installation position of the Schöck Isokorb®  are without fail
to be included in shell implementation plans, which are accepted by both structural engineer and steel constructor. This is to be
agreed in the run up to planning. At the same time, bear in mind that steel constructors can only remedy excessive dimensional
disparities with considerable extra work, if at all.

 Information on installation accuracy

▶ Design constraints allow a vertical tolerance of 10 mm with the Schöck Isokorb® T type SK.  The requisite spacer shims are in-
cluded with the product.
▶ Horizontal limit deviations for the separation of the type SK axes must be specified, as must the limit deviations from the
alignment. Torsional limits must also be specified.
▶ The use of a template developed on site is highly recommended to ensure dimensionally accurate installation and the correct
sitting of the type SK during the concrete pouring process.
▶ The construction supervisor is responsible for checking the agreed installation accuracy of the SK types in good time!

 Notes on design

T
▶ Potential applications for the Schöck Isokorb® encompass floor and balcony slab structures with predominantly static and
evenly distributed live loads as per BS EN 1991-1-1/NA, Table 6.1.
▶ Static evidence must be furnished for the components connecting to both sides of the Isokorb®.
▶ A minimum of two Schöck Isokorb® T type SK must be installed per balcony structure. The balcony structure must be designed
in such a way to prevent torsion being transferred into an individual Isokorb®. Schöck Isokorb® T type SK are unable to transfer
any torsion (i.e. any moment MEd,x).
▶ When using an indirect bearing solution for the Schöck Isokorb® T type SK, the structural engineer must provide evidence, in
particular, of the load transfer in the reinforced concrete component.
▶ Design values are taken in relation to the rear edge of the fixing plate
▶ The nominal dimension cnom of the concrete cover as per BS EN 1992-1-1 (EC2), 4.4.1 and BS EN 1992-1-1/NA is 20 mm for inter-
nal areas.
▶ All Isokorb® T type SK variants can transfer positive shear forces. Types MM1 or MM2 must be selected for negative (uplifting)

Steel – reinforced concrete

shear forces.
▶ When addressing the uplifting forces on steel balconies or canopies, two type SK-MM1-VV1 Isokorbs® T are often sufficient,
even if the overall design requires further T type SK.

 Notes on design
The applied moment capacity MRd,y is dictated by the applied shear forces VRd,Z and VRd,y. Intermediate values can be determined by
linear interpolation. Extrapolation in the range of smaller shear force is not permissible.
▶ The maximum design values of the individual shear force load-bearing levele are to be observed:
VV1: max. VRd,z = 48,3 kN
VV2: max. VRd,z = 69,5 kN
▶ Edge and centre-to-centre distances are to be observed, see pages 29 and 30.

Deflection/Camber
Deflection
The deflection values shown in the calculation tables result solely from the deformation of the Schöck Isokorb® element. The final
precamber of the balcony construction results from the calculation according to BS 8500, or according to EC 2, plus the precamber
due to the Schöck Isokorb®.
The precamber of the balcony construction to be specified by the engineer in charge.
Deformation (p) caused by the Schöck Isokorb®
p = tan α · lk · (MEd,perm / MRd) · 10 [mm]
Factors to be incorporated:
tan α  = Insert value from table
lk = Cantilever length [m]
MEd,perm = Relevant bending moment [kNm] for determining the deformation p [mm] caused by
the Schöck Isokorb®.
The structural engineer specifies the load combination to be used when calculating
the deformation.

Expansion joint spacing

Maximum expansion joint spacing
Expansion joints must be provided in the external component. Changes in length due to temperature deformation are deter-
mined by the maximum distance (e) from the centre of the outermost Schöck Isokorb® T type SK. The balcony structure may over-
hang the outermost Schöck Isokorb® element. In the case of fixed points, such as corners, half the maximum distance (e) from the
fixed point applies. The calculation of the permissible expansion joint spacing is based on a reinforced concrete balcony slab that
is securely connected to the steel members. If design measures have been implemented to ensure there is movement between
the balcony slab and the individual steel members, then only the distances of the non-moving connections are relevant, see de-
tail.

Schöck Isokorb® T type SQ: Design
Area of application of the Schöck Isokorb® T type SQ covers floor and balcony slab structures with predominantly static, evenly
distributed live loads according to BS EN 1991-1-1/NA2 or NA 3. Static verification is to be produced for the components connect-
ing to both sides of the Isokorb®. All Isokorb® T type SQ variants can transfer positive shear forces parallel to the z axis. The Isoko-
rb® type SK offers solutions for negative (lifting) shear forces.

▶ Design values are taken in relation to the rear edge of the fixing plate.
▶ When using an indirect bearing solution for the Schöck Isokorb® T type SQ, the structural engineer must provide evidence, in
particular, of the load transfer in the reinforced concrete component.
▶ The nominal dimension cnom of the concrete cover as per BS EN 1992-1-1 (EC2), 4.4.1 and BS EN 1992-1-1/NA is 20 mm for inter-
nal areas.

Expansion joint spacing

Maximum expansion joint spacing
Expansion joints must be provided in the external component. Changes in length due to temperature deformation are deter-
mined by the maximum distance (e) from the centre of the outermost Schöck Isokorb® T  type SQ. The balcony structure may
overhang the outermost Schöck Isokorb® element. In the case of fixed points, such as corners, half the maximum distance (e)
from the fixed point applies. The calculation of the permissible expansion joint spacing is based on a reinforced concrete balcony
slab that is securely connected to the steel members. If design measures have been implemented to ensure there is movement
between the balcony slab and the individual steel members, then only the distances of the non-moving connections are relevant,
see detail.

Anti-corrosion protection
▶ The stainless steel used for Schöck Isokorb® T type S corresponds to the material no.: 1.4401, 1.4404 or 1.4571.
So the Schöck Isokorb® T type S unit componenets will have a typical corrosion resistance expected for Mo-Cr-Ni austenitic stain-
less steels.
This can be more accurately quantified by reference to specialist literature such as SCI Publication P291 – Structrural Design of
Stainless Steel.

▶ Bimetallic corrosion
Using Schöck Isokorb® T type S in conjunction with a galvanised or paint treated front plate there is no concern regarding
bimetallic corrosion. Since in this application the area of the galvanised steel is greater than the area of the stainless steel (bolts,
type S

washer and butt stop) bimetallic corrosion that could lead to failure can be excluded as far as Schöck products are concerned.

The T type S can also be used for connections between reinforced concrete and steel. This variant can be used if the member forces
are too great for the Schöck Isokorb® T type S.
However, it must be ensured that the forces in the steel member are reliably transferred into the concrete via the reinforcement
bars which are welded on to the on-site end plate. The engineer responsible for the design of the load bearing structure shall
ensure that this is satisfied.

Schöck Isokorb® T type S – basic type

The basic T type S consists of one T type S-N, one T type S-V, one insulating adapter with a thickness of 20 mm and one insulating
adapter with a thickness of 30 mm. With these modules it is possible to achieve a vertical bolt separation of up to 120 mm (60/2 +
20 + 30 + 80/2). If your application requires a greater distance between the bolts, this can be achieved by inserting further insulat-
ing adapters or a corresponding insulating block. The main load on the basic T type S is a shear force in the z-direction and a mo-
ment around the y-axis.

Schöck Isokorb® T Type S-N

The T type S-N is used to absorb tensile forces. It comprises one insulating element (180/60/80 mm) and two stainless
threaded bars with the corresponding nuts. The outer washers take the form of a ball socket and a conical disc. This offers
advantages in terms of fatigue resistance. Refer also to the section about expansion joints on pages 80 - 81. In combination
with a T type S-V, it is also possible to absorb compressive forces, although this is limited to one third of the tensile force.

Schöck Isokorb® T type S-V

The T type S-V is used to absorb compressive forces and shear forces. It consists of an insulating element (180/80/80 mm), two
stainless threaded bars with corresponding nuts and a rectangular hollow section which is welded into the module. The
rectangular hollow section transmits the shear forces. The element can transmit forces in the x, y and z-direction. Within a T type S
connection, the T type S-V is located in the area in which pressure is exerted due to the self weight. Different load combina-tions,
including tensile forces, within a T type S connection, can be carried by the T type S-V, although the interaction condition
3Vd + 2 Hd + Ft,d = max Ft,d ≤ Ft,Rd must be satisfied.

Notes on calculations

▶ Basis:
Type certification (LGA Nürnberg S-N 010415)
The Schöck Isokorb® type T type S has been classified by the DIBt (German Institute for Construction Technology) as the subject
of structural standards with type certification. Approval is not required as it is a modular system.
The design capacities of the Schöck Isokorb® T type S have been independently checked and approved as compliant to
BS 5950∶2000 in conjunction with SCI Publication P291 – Structural Design of Stainless Steel.

▶ Certification:

type S
T
The static calculations to Eurocode 3 for Schöck Isokorb type T type S, when used in conjunction with BS 5950-1∶2000 and Steel
Construction Institute Publication P291, have been approved by the Flint & Neill Partnership, London.

▶ End plate thickness:

In the case of the connection of I-profiles in accordance with the design variants below, the indicated end plate thicknesses,
using mild steel S235, can be adopted without further verification or proof. Smaller end plate thicknesses can be obtained
with more accurate verification or proof.
If the geometry is different then the end plates will need to be verified separately (e.g. connection of a U-profile, flat sheet
metal, ...).

▶ Adjacent web thickness:

If webs of adjacent girders are less than 3.5 mm or considered to be “slender“ or “non-compact“ classification to BS 5950, web
to be checked for local compression effects induced by T type S-V.
Steel – steel

▶ Dynamic loads:
The Schöck Isokorb® type T type S is only intended for use with primarily static loads.

79
 Schöck Isokorb® T type S
Expansion joints/Fatigue resistance

Changing temperatures cause changes in length of the steel members and thus cause fluctuating stresses to arise in the Isokorb®
elements which are only passed on in part through the thermal separation.
Loads on the Isokorb® connections due to temperature deformations of the external steel construction should therefore generally
be avoided.

If, nonetheless, temperature deformations are assigned directly to the Isokorb® connection, then the Isokorb® T type S construction
will be fatigue-resistant up to a construction length of 6 m by virtue of its special components (T type S-V: sliding film on the
pressure plate; T type S-N). At greater lengths an expansion joint should be positioned after no more than 6 m.

Horizontal slots are needed in the on-site end plate for the T type S-V used in the compression zone if
horizontal temperature deformations are to be introduced. These must permit horizontal movements of ±2 mm. In this case, horizontal
shear forces can only be absorbed non-structurally via friction.

Check list

 Have the member forces on the Isokorb® connection been determined at the design level?

 Will the Isokorb® element be used under primarily static loads (see page 79)?

 Are temperature deformations assigned directly to the Isokorb® connection? Expansion joint spacing
(see pages 80 - 81)?

 Will the Isokorb® connection be exposed to an environement with a high chlorine content (e.g. inside indoor swimming
pools) (see page 70)?

 Is there a fire safety requirement for the overall load-bearing structure/Isokorb® (see page 70)?

 Selection and calculation of the Isokorb® elements (refer also to pages 74 - 77 and the examples on pages 82 - 94)

- Are the selected modules adequately dimensioned - refer to the “Design and calculation table” on page 78?

- Have wind loads with a slight lift-off effect been assigned to the T type S connection (see page 786))?

- Is the interaction relationship 3 × Vz + 2 × Hy + Zx = max Zd ≤ Zx,Rd satisfied for the T type S-V and under tensile loads
with simultaneous shear loads (see page 783))?

- Have the T type S-V and been located in the compression area in order to transfer shear forces
(refer to example 8 on pages 88 - 89)?

 End plate calculation without more detailed verification (see pages 82 - 92):
Are the requirements in terms of maximum bolt distances to the flange and minimum head plate width satisfied
(refer to examples 1 - 10 on pages 82 - 94)?
Front plate calculation with detailed verification: see page 95

 Did the deformation calculations for the overall structure take into account the deformation due to MK in the Isokorb®
connection (see page 79)?

type S
Are the individual modules clearly marked in the implementation plan and works plan so that there is no risk of their

T
being interchanged.

 Have the tightening torques for the screwed connections been marked in the implementation plan (refer to page
96 - 97)? The nuts should be tightened spanner-tight without planned preload; the following tightening torques apply:

T type S-D16 (bolt ø 16): Mr = 50 Nm

T type S-D22 (bolt ø 22): Mr = 80 Nm
