Infill Slab Floor

The term is used to refer collectively to stiffened rafts footing slabs and waffle rafts.

Infill slab floor.

Insulating infill blocks are designed to provide best thermal performance bear the footfall loads imposed during installation and withstand both the short and long term loads imposed during the life of the building. The walls are generally of masonry supported on strip footings. Infill slabs are simply poured between existing walls so no formwork is required. Stiffened raft with closely spaced ribs constructed on ground and with slab panels suspended between ribs.

Alternatively the common and very cost effective waffle pod slab supplies sufficient insulation in all but alpine climate zones see waffle pod slabs in construction systems. Slab on ground sog or sog a concrete floor supported on the ground and incorporating integral internal and edge beams. Stahlton s rib infill are nominally 200mm wide and manufactured in depths from 100 to 300mm in 25mm modules. As the hot water flows through the internal pipes within the slab heat spreads out across the entire floor area and radiates into the room above.

Usually the ribs are spaced at 900mm centres. Temporary propping rib and infill flooring usually requires propping during construction typically 1 row for spans up to 6m 2 rows up to 9m and 3 rows for spans greater 9m. Slab infill slab a slab cast on the ground between walls. Concrete floor supported on the ground with a separately poured edge strip footing.

It s incredibly energy efficient because concrete easily absorbs and retains heat. Concrete infill slabs must use a minimum of sl62 mesh to control shrinkage see also open link in same page 3 2 5 3. Bs en 15037 4 outlines the required performance criteria for expanded polystyrene eps infill panels and it covers two types r1 and r2. They require no external or internal stiffening beams and are typically used in garage floors where the walls are masonry.

Handling ribs are designed to be handled from lifting eyes positioned at 1 5 points from the ends of each unit. Our lighter rib and infill floor system provides benefits by reducing foundations and support structure ideal for difficult sites where access is a challenge. Slab insulation can be done with large sheets of high density foam laid all the way under the internal floor panels with only the edge and internal beams penetrating to foundation level.
