Abstract:
AN IMPROVED FLOOR STRUCTURE ASSEMBLED FROM CONCRETE AND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PANELS OF UNIQUE DESIGN. THE PANELS ARE ASSEMBLED IN SIDE-BY-SIDE INTERENGAGED RELATION. THE UPSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLED PANELS PRESENTS A PLURALITY OF TROUGHS HAVING DEFORMATIONS AND KEYING ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH. THE OVERLYING CONCRETE IS UNITED WITH THE PANELS AS A COMPOSITE FLOOR STRUCTURE CAPABLE OF DEVELOPING IMPROVED LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITIES. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLED PANELS PRESENTS A PLURALITY OF CHANNELS WHICH MAY BE ADAPTED TO PROVIDE ANY ONE OF A VARIETY OF FINISHED CEILING ARRANGEMENTS.
Abstract:
A shear fastener for securing concrete decking relative to a supporting structure in a laminar building structure. The fastener includes a stud, an enlarged means at one end, and a spacer adapted to enclose the stud shank and isolate it in spaced relation from the encapsulating concrete to permit bending moments to be applied to the stud shank rather than a straight shear stress when the decking shifts relative to the supporting structure.
