CONCRETE FLOOR

Various types of Concrete Floor

Construction
Cement Concrete Floor
 STEEL JOIST AND STONE FLOOR

• Used where Stone

is easily available
for i span of 1-3
meters and widths
30-60cm

• Where Stone is
not available
precast concrete
slab can be used
For span 3.5 m
Used for long span slabs, allowing for
the elimination of secondary beams
JACK ARCH FLOOR:

Jack arch is an arch of either brick or concrete , supported on lower flange of mild
steel joists (R.S.J.)

The joists are spaced 1 to 1.5 m c/c and are supported at their ends either on the walls
or on longitudinal girders.

The rise of the arch is kept equal to 1/12 of the span.

It Consists of I-Section beams supported on walls and gap between I-Section beams
filled with concrete arch
 Cement Concrete Jack Arch Flooring:
Made of 1:2:4 cement concrete, supported on the lower
flanges of M.S. Joists

The centering consists of a 3mm thick mild steel plate, bent

to the shape of arch and hiving pair of holes at ends, spaced
at 75 cm c/c

The centering plate is supported on the lower flange of

joists through a pair of 12mm dia. rods

JACK ARCH FLOOR:
Figure Showing: Construction detail of a traditional, one way jack arch slab

Figure Showing: Details of a typical configuration of the proposed two-way system.

 Simple RCC Slab
• Mild steel bars reinforcement s placed at bottom of the
slab, keeping a minimum clear cover of 15mm.

• One way Reinforced Slab:

– The main reinforcement is placed in the direction of the
span of the slab, which is equal to the width of the room,
specially the length of the room is more than 1.5 times the
width of the room. It is known as one way reinforced slab

• Two way reinforced slab:

– Length of room is less than 1.5 times the width of room,
the slab bends in both direction
Simple RCC Slab
 Reinforced Brick Flooring:

• Suitable for small span floor slabs carrying lighter loads

• The depth of reinforced brick slab is governed by the thickness of brick available.
• Modular bricks are 10cm thick.
• Thickness of slab may be kept as 10cm
• First class bricks should be used
• Cement mortar ratio used 1:3
• The width of the joint between adjacent bricks is generally kept equal to 2cm
Beam –slab Flooring:

– The beams, known as T-

beams, act as intermediate
supports to the slab which is
continuous, over these
beams.

– When the size of the room is

very large, intermediate T-
Beam, are constructed either
supported on R.C.C, Columns
or end walls
 Flat Slab Flooring:
Monolithically used to support columns exclusive of beam system, a plain
ceiling is obtained, thus giving attractive appearance from architectural point
of view.
 Ribbed or Hollow Tiled Flooring:

– The clear spacing of ribs depends upon size of hollow blocks, available, but it should normally not exceed
50cm.

– The width of ribs may vary between 6-10cm. The span of ribs may be as much as 7m.

– Main reinforcement is provided at the bottom of the rib.

– The minimum cover of 2.5 cm is provided.

– The depth of rib is calculated on the basis of bending moment as well as the cost ration of steel and concrete.

– Depth of rib is usually kept as least L/20 with free support and at least L/25 with fixed support, where L is the
span of the ribs.
 Filler Joists Floor:
– Typical construction in which R.S.J of small sections are placed in Concrete.

– The spacing of the joists may vary between 40-90cm.

– The filler joists may either rest on wall or longitudinal steel beams

– The joists act as reinforcement and no separate reinforcement is provided in the concrete filled in between
the joists

– Concrete should completely surround the filler joists and steel beams, with a minimum cover of 2.5 cm over
filler joists.
 Pre-Cast Concrete Floors:
– Available in about 25cm width, various depths and various spans.

– The joints are grouted with cement mortar, using concrete guns.

– Interlocking grooves are provided on the sides to get tight connection with adjoining
units

span 8m or above.

precast slabs
 Type: 1,2,3,4 are open single-symmetric I beams,
Types 5,6,7 are closed top-hat beams,
Type 8 is open top-hat beams

The primary beam has a typical built up cross-section,

which is designed in order to directly support the floor
on the bottom flange
