Abstract
This invention refers to a structural system for floor and roof construction, based on a parallel arrangement of a set of composite pre-tensioned girders to provide support to a deck formed by layers of any given material. The composite girders are components formed by lengths of bamboo culms, steel components and fillings of mortar or other materials, arranged in such way that a maximum mechanical efficiency is obtained.
Claims18
A slab system comprising:
- a deck comprising one or more layers which form a structural diaphragm and at least one of a top finishing layer and a bottom finishing layer;
- and
- a plurality of pre-tensioned composite girders installed in a parallel arrangement to support the deck, the pre-tensioned composite girders including a hollow bamboo culm having first and second opposite longitudinal ends defining a length from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end with a central zone therebetween, and a profile having a length greater than the length of bamboo culm.
