What is Assogrigliati

In 1998, several grating manufacturers decided to establish a national Association of Italian manufacturers of electro-welded and/or pressed gratings
in steel and aluminium alloys. The Association is called “ASSOGRIGLIATI” and operates within ANIMA (Federation of National Associations of Mechanical
and Engineering Industries).

Assogrigliati brings together qualified and prestigious manufacturers of electro-welded and/or pressed gratings, a sector that employs about 400 wor-
kers and has developed an output of 125 million Euro.
In order to obtain a reference standard, in 1999 the associates drew up the “technical specifications” and delivered to UNI (Ente di Normazione Ita-
liano // National Italian Agency for Standardisation) to promote Work Group n. 5 “electro-welded and/or pressed grating panels” of sub-commission 1
“External/internal partitions, windows, doors and stairs” that worked on the development of the standards UNI 11002-1-2-3 published in August 2002
and subsequently reviewed in 2009.

With the disclosure of this publication, Assogrigliati intends to provide the industry with the most suitable instrument for choosing, producing and in-
stalling grating panels in compliance with the standards in force and with adequate respect for safety standards and product quality.
Technical evaluations of the data contained in this Guide have been elaborated by Assogrigliati on the basis of the tests performed at the Politecnico
di Milano.

Note: The information given has been drafted and checked with the greatest attention. However Assogrigliati assumes no responsibility for eventual errors, omissions or inaccuracies due to technical
and graphic needs. Assogrigliati reminds everyone that the present guide does not replace the mentioned standards and that the client is required to consult them.

In compliance with the UNI standards 10803, 10804, and 10812 currently in force for steps in prefabricated stairways, the intended use of the step is
clarified. The legislation in force divides stairways into two groups: public use and private use.

Private use is subdivided according to the following criteria:


• principal private use, with the function of providing the main link between usable and completely inhabitable spaces.
• secondary private use, with the function of providing a secondary link between uninhabitable spaces or a second link.

Chapter 2 – Glossary

In order to carry out a correct sizing of the grating panels and to avoid possible misunderstandings, below are some of the terms usually used in the
client-supplier relationship.

Standard UNI 11002-1 defines:

• ELECTRO-WELDED AND/OR PRESSED GRATING A “network structure consisting of load bearing bars perpendicularly connected to crossbars (see
figure 1A and 2A. 1B and 2B of the present section). The connection of points between the two types of bars are called ‘knots’”.

• ELECTRO-WELDED GRATING “The load bearing bars are joined to the crossbars through the combined action of electro-welding – without using
additional material – and pressure, concentrated on all the knots. This procedure determines the penetration of the crossbars into the load bearing
bars”.

• PRESSED GRATING “The load bearing bars are joined to the crossbars by means of the pressure exerted on the crossbars to wedge them into the
preformed slots on the load bearing bars. In some case the crossbars also have pre-formed slots”.

• Load bearing barS ( h x s ) Elements arranged parallel to each other, able to bear the load acting on the grating. They are defined by the height (h)
and the thickness of the bar (s). (see figures 1A and 1B of the present section).

• CROSSBARS Elements arranged transversally to the load bearing bars. They have the function of connecting and maintaining a constant distance
between the load bearing bars and to trasversally divide the load (see figure 1A and 1B of the present section).

• Load bearing bar DISTANCE (A) Distance between the centre lines of two consecutive load bearing bars (see figures 1A and 1B of the present
section)

• CROSSBAR DISTANCE (B) Distance between the centre lines of two consecutive crossbars (see figures 1A and 1B of the present section)

• MESH It indicates (A x B). (see figures 1A and 1B of the present section). The distance between parallel bars (A) is always indicated first. Example:
distance between bars (A) = 25 mm distance (B) = 76 mm mesh = 25 x 76 mm

Chapter 2 – Glossary

• PANEL LENGTH (X) Maximum size measured in the direction of the load bearing bars. (see figures 2A and 2B of the present section)

• PANEL WIDTH (Y) Maximum size measured in the direction of the crossbars. (see figures 2A and 2B of the present section).

• PANEL SIZE Indicated by (X x Y). (see figures 2A and 2B of the present section). The length (X) is always indicated first.

• LOAD CONCENTRATION ON GRATING AREA Surface of the grating directly interested by the load. Defined by the dimensions (u x v). (see drawings
section 4.6)

• LOAD EVENLY DISTRIBUTED Load distributed uniformly over the whole surface of the panel.

• LOAD CONCENTRATED ON THE LOAD CONCENTRATION ON GRATING AREA Load exerted directly on the load concentration on grating area.

• SAG (f) Vertical offset with respect to the horizontal plane of a point on the panel due to the acting load. Maximum sag: 1/200 of Ln; Maximum sag:
5 mm) For further information refer to the standard UNI 11002-1.

PANELS ON A FRAME

Also defined

• CENTRE-TO-CENTRE DISTANCE BETWEEN SUPPORTS (Ln) Measurement of the centre-to-centre distance between two adjacent support structu-
res, measured in the direction of the load bearing bars.
• SERRATED GRATING The serrated grating is a grating obtained by using as components load bearing bars and/or crossbars in laminate or sheared
material which are provided on the surface with suitably shaped teeth that work as slip resistance.

Gratings for civilian use


• HEEL-PROOF GRATING “There are no reference standards, even though if it is usually define a grating as “heel-proof” when it has either the load
bearing bars or the crossbars with a centre distance equal to or less than 15 mm”.
• “ANTI-SPHERE” OR “ANTI-MARBLE” GRATING Gratings inserted into a flooring made of mesh which cannot be crossed by a sphere measuring 2
mm in diameter. (see MD 14/6/89 n. 236 article 8.2.2)

Gratings for industrial use


• GRATINGS FOR WORK PLATFORMS AND TRANSIT CORRIDORS Gratings that satisfy the requirements described in standard UNI EN 14122-2.
• OFFSHORE GRATINGS Gratings with serrated load bearing bars, obtained by alternating flat and round, which cannot be crossed by a sphere me-
asuring 15mm in diameter.

Chapter 3 – Technical selection criteria for grating panels

3.1 USE OF CAPACITY TABLES

The basic elements for the technical choice of gratings are:


• il tipo di sovraccarico che grava sul pannello. Il Committente deve sempre precisare la Classe di portata

that is:
pedestrian load (distributed) Class 1
road vehicle load (concentrated on the load concentration on grating area) Classes 2-3-4.

• the centre-to-centre distance between two consecutive supports.

To optimize the choice of the grating, it is also important to take into consideration ulterior factors such as: the distance between the load bearing bars
and the distance between the crossbars (the mesh), the height and the thickness of the load bearing bar, and the possible use of “section breaker
beams”.

3.2 COLLABORATION BARS METHOD


The electro-welded and/or pressed grating is a reticulated structure formed of bars connected together orthogonally crossbars. The latter has a dual
function:
1. to determine the constancy of the distance between the load bearing bars to give linearity to the panel.
2. to distribute the load acting on a surface larger than the load concentration on grating area, to improve the capacity conditions of the panel.

Note: the numbers of cooperation bars shown in the two tables are valid for the load concentration on grating areas of the various capacity classes. For load concentration on grating areas that are
different due to special concentrated loads, the Client must contact the Technical Office of the Supplier Company. In particular the n’ value of the collaboration bars are only valid when:
Example:
• for the electro-welded grating, all the panel knots have a complete penetration into the load bearing bars using the procedures described on page 13 of the present Guide
centre distance between bars A = 30 mm
• for pressed grating, the complete wedging for all the knots of the crossbars and load bearing bars is done by applying high pressure, as indicated on page 14 of the present Guide.
load concentration on grating area v = 200 mm
NUMBER OF Load bearing barS = 200/30 + 1 + 1.9 = 8.9

The free distance or free space is determined by the radius of curvature “R” of the support structure that can be found in the manuals. The grating
panel base of the load bearing bars on the frame should not be less than 2/3 of the height of the load bearing bars and therefore larger than 20 mm.
The area covering is done by using a series of panels in standard company widths plus an eventual panel for completion.

Note: The indicative design is valid for both electro-welded and pressed gratings.

4.3 GRATING FASTENERS (FIXING HOOKS)

In the standard UNI 11002-1 – section 3.14 – the appropriately shaped elements to use for technical
reasons and/or safety reasons to anchorage the grating panels to support structure and/or fix them to
each other are mentioned.

Whenever the intended use of the grating fasteners is particularly difficult (example: shopping centres,

4.4 GRATING FOR FLOORING

STANDARD

4.4.1 The use of grating for flooring panels, in specific applications, must comply with the requirements of M.D. n. 236 of 14.06.1989 “Technical re-
gulations necessary to guarantee accessibility, adaptability, and visibility of private buildings and subsidised and assisted housing, in order to overcome
or remove architectural barriers”.

In particular the indications given in section 8.2.2 of M.D. 236 of 14/689 should be followed:
[…] The gratings inserted into the flooring must be elaborated with a mesh that cannot traversed by a 2 cm diameter sphere: the gratings with parallel elements must
be in any case placed orthogonally in the traffic direction.

4.4.2 The capacity class 1 of the standard UNI 11002-1 does not refer to any other applications of local concentrated loads (cabinet stoppers,
shelves, etc.) for which it is necessary to provide a specific manual verification.

4.5 EMPTY/FULL RATIO FOR GRATING PANELS

The opening of natural ventilation for garages, in accordance with section 3.9.1 of M.D. 01.02.1986 (Fire Safety standard) must have a surface of not
less than 1/25 of the floor area in the compartment. Therefore, when using grating panels for covering aeration zones, it is necessary to keep in mind
the “empty / full ratio” of the various types of gratings for these items, as shown in the following tables:

Chapter 5 – Criteria for determining the size of grating steps for public and private use stairways
QUALITY AND SAFETY
(steel S235JR UNI EN 10025)

5.1 LOADS ACTING ON STEPS


The UNI 11002-2 § 6.1 figure 5 specifies the dynamic loads on stairway steps for public and private use, from the weight of the grating to the dimensional
tolerances of the load bearing bars. This considers their circular load concentration on a 120 mm diameter on the grating area and a position flush with
the front edge of the step at 600 mm modular distance.
To calculate the capacity refer to the load patterns indicated in section §1.2 of the present manual.

5.2 COLLABORATION BARS


Based on laboratory tests conducted at the Politecnico di Milano, Assogrigliati has drafted the following table that shows the number of collaboration
bars (n’) per step:

5.3 BOLTED STEP CONSTRAINTS

The constraint of the steps bolted to the sides cannot be considered a simple support nor an interlocking assembly. On the base of the results of the
tests carried out at the laboratories of the Politecnico di Milano, the coefficient reductions for the elastic sag K1 and the bending moment K2 were
calculated with respect to a calculation made by considering the steps tied to a simple support.
