A guide to their design and construction

info:

Description: This third edition meets the increasing demands for distribution, warehousing and retail operations. It is the result of a thorough review of all aspects of floor design and construction by a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, contractors, materials specialists and users. It differs from previous editions in two key aspects. Firstly, guidance on thickness design of slabs is complete, with minimal need for reference to other documents. Secondly, wherever possible, the guidance is non-prescriptive, allowing designers and contractors to use their skills to develop economic solutions for providing the required performance. The thickness design guidance is now primarily based on a limit state format. Most aspects of the report are relevant to small workshops, commercial garages, sports and other recreational facilities. Design methods for pile-supported floors are outlined in an appendix. The guidance on construction, material performance and other requirements is valid for all ground floors. Surface regularity requirements have been reviewed in detail as a result of new survey work. The Report is intended primarily for designers and contractors will will also be valuable for owners and users of industrial facilities. 3rd Edition. March 2003 147 pages

This is the third edition of Concrete Society Technical Report 34. The previous editions were published in 1988 and 1994. These became identified as the leading publications on many of the key aspects of concrete industrial ground floors, initially in the UK, and then in other parts of the world, especially Europe. The Concrete Society’s experience in this field has steadily grown, through the expertise of its members who specialise in industrial floors, and through the experience of the engineers of the Concrete Advisory Service, who regularly deal with questions and problems relating to floors.
Guidance on the design and construction of ground-supported concrete floors was developed and published by the Cement and Concrete Association in the 1970s and 1980s. Concrete Society Technical Report 34 was published in 1988 and took account of the rapid development of new construction techniques, and gave guidance on thickness design. The second (1 994) edition of TR 34 (I) updated the guidance, but both these editions depended on and referred to the earlier publications for the design methodology.
