Spans: propped
Spans: unpropped
Applications
- Large composite spans and thin floor spans of 7m to over 8.5m are ideal.
- Architectural ‘industrial look’ developments.
- Where large uninterrupted spans are desired.
Benefits:
Long-span capability:
- ComFlor 210 uses 1.25mm high tensile steel.
- The deck is designed as single spans in construction to span 5.4m unpropped
and over 8.5m propped with corresponding reduction in steelwork.
Working platform
- The broad top surface of the ComFlor 210 affords a comfortable working
platform.
Reduced concrete use
- 270mm deep slab uses the equivalent of a 115mm solid concrete slab.
- Even for the longest spans a 350mm deep slab uses equivalent concrete as a 195mm solid
slab.
Structurally strong:
- Single bar reinforcement in each trough, combined with anti-crack mesh near the top of the
concrete slab gives the composite slab superb structural strength and fire properties.
Shallow floor depth
- The deck can be contained within the beam depth, which produces a “slim floor”. This leads
to savings in cladding costs and either helps to reduce the overall building height or enables
an extra floor to be added for buildings of 10 storeys plus.
Service integration
- The shape of the deep deck permits services to be installed between the deck ribs,
effectively within the slab depth. This leads to further reductions in the floor zone.
Inherent fire resistance
- A fire resistance of 60 minutes can be achieved without fire protection to the steelwork or
deck when on encastre beam is used.
Reduced transport and handling costs:
- The nestable profile shape reduces transport and handling costs.
