Overview: The document provides technical details about the INCO 70.4 Composite Slab, a construction system using steel sheeting and concrete. It highlights the advantages, calculations, applications, and technical specifications of the composite slab.
Advantages: The INCO 70.4 Composite Slab offers several benefits, including reduced weight, economic efficiency, quick installation, and improved cleanliness. It also eliminates the need for bracing, facilitates movement within building plants, and provides acoustic and thermal insulation.
Calculations and Assays: The resistance calculations for the composite slab are conducted by the Polytechnic University of Valencia and verified by standard assays at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. The document provides a pre-dimensioned application for rough estimates and offers technical support for detailed calculations.
System Description: The composite slab system combines steel sheeting with concrete, reinforced to prevent cracking from retraction and temperature changes. This integration maximizes the strengths of both materials.
Fields of Application: The slabs are suitable for various structures, including industrial buildings, offices, public buildings, warehouses, department stores, sports centers, houses, and garages. They can be installed over metallic, concrete, wooden, and masonry structures.
Technical Characteristics: The document details the materials used, including reinforcing steel and concrete properties. It provides specifications for slab thickness, weight, moment of inertia, resistance modulus, and fire resistance. The fire resistance is assured for 30 minutes, with options for enhancement.
Loading Tables: The document includes extensive loading tables for different slab depths and spans, providing data on live loads and deflection limits.
Additional Notes: The document emphasizes the importance of consulting the technical department for specific calculations and compliance with recommendations. It also notes that using higher strength materials can maintain safety values.
