THIN CEMENTITIOUS DECKING MEMBERS

摘要

A thin cementitious decking member is described. The thin cementitious decking member can span and be attached to two or more support members. The thin cementitious decking member can include a binder and natural or artificial sands, stones, or other aggregates. The thin cementitious decking member should have a thickness no greater than 1 ¾″. The thin cementitious decking member can include pre-stressed tendons bonded to the thin cementitious member. The pre-stressed tendons can be tensioned to impose a longitudinal compressive force into a cross section of the member. In this manner, the thin cementitious member is capable of supporting weight over a span between the two support members greater than 4 times the width of the thin cementitious member.
