A PRESENTATION ON
FLAT PLATE FLOORING SYSTEM
PRESENTED BY,
ASWATHI.T
Architectural layout should be planned to fully enhance the main area where high flat ceiling with neatly arranged concrete columns are required in the design. Spacing of column Long term deflection of the flat plate. Early planning of routing for M&E services opening for void and location of staircase.
Longer span length achieved The economical span of a flat plate can be extended by pre-stressing to approximately D*30,D*37&D*40. Where as for the traditional reinforced concrete beam and slab floor has an economical span D*15,D*20. Flat soffit ie flat ceiling. The main & unique feature of the system is that provides a way for the architect to achieve the concept of high and completely flat ceiling with no beam protrusion. Saving in shuttering cost. In traditional beam column slab system the need of shuttering area is more & cost of form work is also more.
Saving in construction time. As form work& stagging time is reduced the over all construction time also get reduced in flat plate slab system. Pre stressing. Pre stressing is not possible in traditional beam column system where as post tensioned flat plate are a common variation of the conventional structure where most of the reinforcement is placed by post tensioned strands of very high strength steel. Building height. Traditional beam column slab system produces building or structure higher than flat plate slab system. Service In traditional beam column slab system the penetrations through beam for large ducts difficult to handle.
PROJECT APPLICATION
The flat plate/slab are economical since they have no beams and hence can reduce the floor height by (10-15)%. The Mass-3 project has been completed successfully and is ready for occupation and the RPS project is currently under construction in India.
PROJECT MASS-3
The project is located in Bangalore(Zone-2), framing system would resist both lateral &vertical loads. The design criteria are based on IS 456:2000, IS 1893 part1&IS 875 part3. The building is trapezoid in plan with an approximate dimension of 90m length 30m width&15m height. The structure consist of basement car parking floor+ 4upper floors+ terrace.
At 80 stories the Aqua building in Chicago topped out in early March. Using flat-plate floor construction, they were able to complete concrete construction well ahead of a structural steel building being built nearby.
CASE STUDY
140 WEST 42nd STREET, OFFICE BUILDING, NEWYORK
140 West street is the first post tensioned concrete office building with 24 story. Requirement mean that the new towers floor to floor height would have to match the Bush Tower is floor to floors height of 13-9 The lateral force resisting system efficiently incorporated the 12 flat plate flat plate with 16thick concrete sheer wall which completely encases the fire stair from the ground floor. The vertical structural elements also minimize the rentable floor space and economical drift control of the structure for occupant comfort.
CONCLUSION
The flat plate slab system often provide the most economical solution for high rise residential of commercial construction. The systems low floor height result in over all reduction of building height which further result lesser dead load leading to lower foundation cost. The flat plate/slab construction is developing technology in India. The flat plate/slab can be designed& built either by conventional RCC or post tensioning. The Indian codes in combination with other standards like the ACI,BS or Euro code to design and analyze flat slab/ plates.
