Features
-

PSF and some similarly high point loads. In addition, the design
provided redundant reinforcement so that a certain number of holes
could be cored at random for pipes and conduit to pass through the floor.
-
Dapped floor panels, headed studs on steel
frame

Raked finish
-
Corrosion resistant microsilica mix design
-
Alternatives to this system are:
-
Shoring and Forming Our
self forming system is clearly faster and more economical than forming
and shoring, jump forming, steel pans, and the like.
-
Q-deck Q-deck by
itself is cheaper than concrete panel systems. In an industrial environment
there are concerns about corrosion. That was the case in this building.
In an office building, there are fire safing concerns and costs with Q-deck.
