CONCRETE FLOOR PANEL AND FLOOR SYSTEM

摘要

A thin lightweight, strong cementitious floor panel (10) has a flat upper surface (12) and a ribbed lower surface (14). Reinforcing rods (32,34) extend through the ribs (16) near the bottom of the panel and are arranged one (32) along each side of the panel and two (34) in a crossed configuration in the centre. The ends of the crossed bars (34) rest on the side bars (32) and the side bars (32) extend to regions adjacent corners of the panel at which the panel can be supported in a floor so that the bars tend to transfer loads imposed on the panel to the panel support regions.
