Abstract: SC structures are a form of construction comprising two steel plates with a concrete infill between them such that the steel and concrete act compositely.As well as the design checks performed at the composite stage, the steel plates of SC structures must also be assessed for the pre-composite construction stage (prior to and during concreting).During construction, the steel plates may be subjected to considerable forces due to transportation, lifting, concreting operations, as well as forces due to construction activity and environmental conditions.In some cases, these actions may govern the sizing of the steel elements.This paper presents guidance for the design of SC panels at the construction stage.The relevant Eurocodes for the design of steel structures such as EN 1993-1-1 (2005), EN 1993-1-5 (2006) and EN 1993-1-7 (2007) are adopted and, where necessary, their requirements are adapted to SC structures or new analytical expressions are developed.The analytical models were validated against finite element analyses and, in some cases, against alternative methods available in the literature.
