Hollow core units, widely manufactured in the world, offer possibilities for construction of very attractive modern structures composed of floor diaphragms, framed elements and shear walls. The tying of the individual units into one integrated superstructure is the main objective of this contribution. Ties of the hollow core units often are dimensioned according to certain general principles (e.g. recommendations based on Eurocode 2). The author's concept is to show the calculation procedures for dimensioning of the tying steel bars in order to improve the interaction of those hollow core slabs in the over-all behaviour diaphragm action, alternative model action) and as the members of the composite beams. Some of these procedures has been already published (e.g. Chapter 4 of the newest document 1] of FIB Commission “Prefabrication”).
