(UPC) is among the most advanced product in the Precast Concrete Industry in the UAE UPC's slabs are used in all kinds of buildings (hotels, offices, villas.......etC.) Throughout the past two decades, these slabs have been widely used for flooring and roofing ‘and occasionally for walls. ‘The casting of the HOLLOWCORE SLAB elements is performed by the PCE Extruder now used worldwide. A very special feature of the HOL- LOWOCRE SLABS is the high quality product with very low use of material and very fast delivery In order to save time and money for our valued clients, we always focus on schedules, UPC can manufacture and erect 2700 - 4000 mm’ Hollowcore Slabs per day. UPC’s HOLLOWCORE SLAB elements have all the advantages of prestressed hollowoore slabs. Standard HOLLOWCORE SLABS are prestressed, precast, extruded slab elements with thicknesses of 150mm, 200mm, 265mm, 320mm, 400mm and 00mm. After casting and curing, the HOLLOWCORE SLABS are transported to site for erection, Listed below are some of the advantages of pre- stressed hollowcore slabs: * No cracks for service loads + No positive deflection for normal dead toads. ‘Minimum deflection for super imposed toads. Longer span/greater loads than conven- tional slabs of same depth One way span, meaning less beams and columns required, gives more unobstruct ed space for the client The HOLLOWCORE SLAB elements weigh upto 40-50% less than conventional reinforced con crete slabs of the same dimensions. The reduced weight results in considerable over: all savings in construction costs, With the reduced slab weight, the structural frame can be more lightly constructed. The reduced - com- bined - weight of frame and flooring leads to reduced dimensions of the foundations, PRODUCT PagePage 2 DESIGN UPC’s Services UPC's experienced Structural Engineers are always at your service to assist and advise you on all matters related to the design and specification of the HOLLOWCORE SLABS, Please be advised that larger spans / greater loads than specified in. thisbrochure can be achieved under certain conditions. Load Tables ‘The slabs are designed in accordance with British Standard BS 8110. For simply supported slabs, values for load capacity and deflections are given in the load tables on pages 5 to 10 for the var- ‘ous slab thicknesses. The following definitions are used in the load tables. ye = maximum uitimate (limit state) design load in excess of the slab weight. Que = maximum characteristic (Service. limit state) design load in excess of the slab weight Cay = short term camber due to prestress for ine week old slabs Gq = long term camber due to prestress x= short term deflection due to an applied load of 1kN/m aj, = long term deflection due to an applied load of kN Verification of the chosen slab The ultimate super imposed load Py must be less than dys. Py is the factored load as defined in BS 8110, section 2.4, Py= 146, + 1.6, Shear, bending capacity and allowable stresses are automatically fulfilled if Py < Qu. The deflec tion should be checked for compliance with BS 8110, 3.4.6.3 - Short term camber should not exceed span/’300. = Short term deflection for live load Q,, ‘should not exceed span/350. The deflection is calculated as Bay = Ans * Que ~ Short term detiecton for dead load G,, should not exceed sparv350. The deflection is calculated as. Ag = 851 * G,. ~~ Combined short term camber anid deflection for G, should-not exceed: ‘span/350. Thisis calculated as ay = Cyy + Ay ~~ Long,term deflection for dead load, G,,, is-calculated as. ap = Aig; * ~_ Final combined long term camber and deflection for Gk should:not exceed span260. This is calculated as b= Oy Ao ~~ Loni term settlement which takes place after application ofthe dead load G should ot ‘exceed span/350. This settlement a; is calculated as A 5 ap a}200. 265 Note: 150mm STANDARD 200mm ‘STANDARD 265mm STANDARD 175.8 285 als 68,18 90 Strand locations are possible locations, Actual strand pattern will be determined through structural calculations 320mm, STANDARD 400mm STANDARD 500mm ‘STANDARD ELEMENT DETAILS PageDesign load qui, (KN/m’) in excess of slab self weight (ww) ueds BERS E EB Ea 8 JANN GVO1 GaNIsWoo SQeIS B109MO||OH JdNi 10} SaniNd peor obey ov 08 oot oz ove ow. ozeLOAD AND DEFORMATION TABLE UPC HCS 8/150 UPC 8/150 [Slab weight [2.25 KNIi] Maximum ulimate design load (@,) and maniinar lad at serviceabiity Tit sate Hoint grout |0.11kN/m? _(q,) in excess of lab weight in Nn? and calculated deformation in mm STRANDS | SPAN 3.0] 3.5] 4.0] 45] 50] 5.5/6.0 65] 70[75 60] 65] 90 Quy __125.117.6[12.7, 9.3/6.9) 5.2/38) | | 4n05 9.3mm Qe _(116.7/11.7| 8.4 6.2| 46) 3.4/2 _| fee 770m? | Gy “1 Se. 2 | marseime Lay, [0 [0 |0 [1 |i (2 [2 L vs ssrivy [apy 0/1 11 11 [2 [3 [4 Gun 29.622.4/16.4)12.3| 9.3/7.1 5.4/4.1 30 5 nos 9.3mm Gye 19.7/15.0/10.9| 8.2 [6.2/4.7 3.6/2.8 | 21 Lv?

As per BS 8110, part 1, clause 5.2.2.2, line loads ‘can be distributed over the lesser of the width of three hollowcore slabs plus the width of the loaded area or the quarter of the span on either side of the loaded area, DESIGN EXAMPLES Page 112 Page DIAPHRAGM ACTION Hollowcore slabs can act as diaphragms for transfer of horizontal forces to the bracing ele- ments, Horizontal forces are generally wind loads, seismic load and load due to eccentric ver- tical load, The diaphragm action is obtained by connecting the hollowcore slabs and providing the completed floor with a tying system capable of transferring the horizontal forces by arching or bending. The tying system shall be able to obtain all forces due to in-plane action like bending, shear and tension, and shall be continuous both in longitudinal and ‘ransverse direction. Typical connections between hollowcore slabs and bracing elements are shown ‘on the sectional details. ‘Schematic system of diaphragm action Diaphragm action without topping Diaphragm action can be achieved without topping, by placing the tie reinforcement ‘in the joints between the slabs, as shown below: 1 HO “ 10 y-gam IN EACH SLAB (faa == T HOLLONCORE SLAB awPING (NOT NECESSARY ON PRECAST SEAM/WALL) DOWEL BAR BEAM WALL —— HACKING A INTERVALS TE ABOVE Wine. 1200 ht © SEal/WAL | Hb | STIRRUP PLACED | = EACH HACKING MN, Y10 LOCKER BAR 10 C 4 Yi SDL Howowcore SUB \ uns (hr NECESSARY ON PRECAST BEAL) SDowEL. ax |_| —senu/mes $0 ise los Ti ABOVE, BEAN/WALL use wos. ¥10 | ne w exch Stas sow unit -NO. 10 =e aq fouowRRRE SUB \ rn \(NOT NECESSARY ON \ BRAS seat) owe. aR L, EMH Section 3 Diaphragm action with topping If topping is provided, the diaphragm can be established in the topping as shown below: BANG, -— mesh Beeb | Seneca 7 HOLLOWCORE SLAB TawPING (NOT NECESSARY ON PRECAST GEAM/WALL) NearTE ABOVE BEAM/WALL ame ms.

Bearing will, under normal conditions, always be designed as 80mm in order to allow for toler- ances in the main load bearing structure For spans more than 12m, the designed bearing should be 100mm due to the increased toler- ances, For support on blockwork walls itis important to check that the compression’ stresses in. the blockwork wall are acceptable in the support zone of the hollowcore slabs. If not a reinforced ‘concrete coping beam should be provided on the top. For erection on cast in-situ concrete beams or block walls, a 20mm horizontal joint is required to take the Variances of the level of the support and secure a uniform load transter.

Required width is approximately 1000mm. From the element details on Page 4, we wil find the possible width as W=61+(4 x 182) + (4x 42) + 35 t0 70 = ‘992mm to 1027mm. Narrow slab of width = 1000mm is acceptable. Large Openings If the width of an opening in the floor exceeds 800mm, itis most advisable to cut the slab com- pletely through. The sib is then suspended from the adjoining slabs by a steel saddle beam. This requires that the adjacent stabs should be able to withstand the reaction forces from the steel beam. ‘Any requirement for large openings and steel saddle support should be discussed with UPC's structural engineers. Large Holes Before making holes through the concrete sepa- rating the voids, it is necessary to check the capacities of the adjoining slabs during the initial design, ie. to decide whether loads can be trans ferred from a slab with such holes to the adjoin- ing slab. The maximum size of hole that can be made in the slab without special arrangements depends on the span and the load the slab has to carry. The conditions during transport and site erection also affect the maximum permitted size of the holes. Seton 886000 Holes must be made in such a position as to min- lmize cracks in the web between voids: for exam- ple, the longer side of a rectangular side of a rec- tangular hole should lie in the longitudinal direc- tion of the slab, The possible dimensions for SPECIAL SLABS Page 17Page 18 SPECIAL SLABS ‘openings, on condition that the structural capac- ity is safe, are shown on page 17. ‘Any requirement for large holes should be dis: cussed with UPC's Structural Engineers. Small Holes Small holes and recesses between strands at the position of the voids are usually made at the building site. Their positions are indicated by the shaded areas on the adjoining cross-section iagram below, Holes may be circular or rectan- ular, and up to three are normally permitted in the same cross-section, Holes are considered to be in the same cross-section if they are less than 750mm apart in the longitudinal slab direction. When meking holes, great care must be taken not to damage the slab. It is particularly important that the prestressing strands are not exposed through the concrete, Strands protected by 30mm of concrete Cantilever Stabs Hollowcore slabs can be cantilevered by 1m to 2m. depending on the slabs thickness, by providing top strands. The cantilevered slabs can be used for making balconies, bay windows, extensions and other decorative structures (6100 HOLE cout — screen oulOWGORE SLAB = HOLLOWCORE SLAB ‘awe ng «|S oower aa CCAST-IN-SITU BEAM —B.0CK WALLLightweight Suspensions Lightweight suspensions can be fixed driling the fixing to the soffit ofthe slabs.
