Suspended concrete floors are found in storeyed buildings. The self weight of concrete without additional live loads is great. In buildings where the spans are large, weight reduction is done to avoid buckling of the floor. This buckling is where the concrete sags at the middle. The concrete is laid the same way but hollow pots are added to reduce weight. This blocks are hollow in the middle. The reinforcements are laid in between them and concrete is added and vibrated to hold them together. The top concrete is about three inches thick.
The suspended concrete floor hollow pots are either clay or concrete blocks. This blocks are eight to ten inches thick. The pots that are at the beginning and at the end of a row should be blocked on one side. This will stop concrete from flowing inside the blocks. The ceilings from this floors are flat. The ordinary down stand beams are not visible from below the slab soffits. This floors are ideal over big rooms like lounges, dinning and offices. The power or lighting points on the ceilings are boxed inside on recesses within the ceilings. Read More…
