Floors calculation

Floors Calculation

If the Isotex wood cement floors to be produced have not already been calculated by the structural engineer, they will be calculated by the Isotex Technical Office. Our engineers will then send the calculations and assembly drawings to the structuralist and the company for confirmation before production starts.

For calculation of the floors, it is therefore necessary to receive structural drawings of the floor with indications of the loads to be considered and information on the type of floor that will be used.

Floor Laying

The truss is packaged in such a way to ensure its lifting and to be able to carry out cast completion in absolute safety. More precisely: 1) in the lifting phase it is stressed by its own weight and considered suspended in two points placed at L/4 from the ends; 2) in the casting phase it is considered to be placed on supports at a distance of 170 cm and stressed by its own weight and the weight of the fluid concrete.

The additional reinforcement is inserted in the plant, in the quantity established by the structural planner; it can be sized and verified with reference to the final section. The collaboration between the completion cast and the beam cast in the factory is ensured by the truss, which protrudes from the first phase cast by at least 4 cm; an adequate limitation of the calculation tangential tensions makes it possible to avoid the provision of specific reinforcement for cutting. There is the possibility of making transverse ribs (perpendicular to the floor warp). It is sufficient to plan for use of lowered hollow floor blocks in wood cement. For plastering operations, see the plastering instructions section. It is mandatory to use plaster retaining mesh, to be inserted about half the thickness of the base coat, which must have a thickness as uniform as possible of 15mm. In addition, it is necessary to wait 5-6 days between the base coat and the slaked lime or gypsum finish.
