Hollow Core Precast Concrete Floor Panels Slab Thickness

These slabs are supported by cables embedded in the webs of the slabs under tension hence the name prestressed concrete.

Hollow core precast concrete floor panels slab thickness.

Precast lattice slab floor units are typically 50 to 100 mm thick reinforced with steel bars forming a lattice girder that is only partially embedded in the precast unit. Prestressed hollowcore floor panels available in 150 200 250mm depths. Learn more and see projects with hollowcore slabs. Precast hollowcore solid floors excellent sound reducing qualities durability and inherent fire resistance make our hollowcore slabs the solution of choice for apartments care homes hospitals and commercial projects.

Our precast hollowcore slabs are significantly lighter when compared to solid precast concrete floor slabs. Figure 1 7 shows typical precast lattice slab floor units. Milbank hollowcore floors also known as slabs or planks are pre stressed concrete slabs with internal tubular voids creating an efficient and lightweight plank that is far lighter than other floor slabs of equal thickness or strength. The units themselves are manufactured at a width of 1200mm and depths of 150 200 250 and 300mm.

Two things need to be addressed. Spancrete hollowcore precast concrete planks slabs are fire resistant reduce weight and costs. Hollowcore systems are prestressed concrete plank that serve as both a ready made sub floor for a garage and a ceiling for additional living areas. The use of precast concrete hollowcore flooring is a highly cost effective solution that fits easily into any structural system such as steel or concrete frame or indeed masonry construction.

Maximize space in any house plan for approximately 20 per square foot with hollowcore roof and floor systems from county materials. We also do cut slabs in custom sizes according to each individual installation. All slabs are 1200mm wide and can be supplied with a maximum length of 12m depending on design and application. The precast concrete slab has tubular voids extending the full length of the slab typically with a diameter equal to the 2 3 3 4 the thickness of the slab.

The reduced weight also lowers material and transportation costs. See span load tables for full details. Our precast hollowcore floors are available in sections 150 200 250 and 260mm deep. This makes the slab much lighter than a massive solid concrete floor slab of equal thickness or strength.

We core drill hollow core precast slabs when needed.
