Advanced thin floor steel systems.

摘要

Statement of problem. Over the last 30–40 years cast-in-place concrete construction has become a viable alternative to structural steel for framing of high-rise buildings. One important advantage to concrete construction is the thin floors and subsequent reduced floor-to-floor height achieved with flat plate concrete; and with the introduction of new technologies such as micro-silica and silica-fume, as well as super-plasticizer additions to the concrete design mix, new heights and large: spans have been accomplished.
