Abstract
A composite floor panel includes a frame assembly having a base plate, a plurality of first lateral supports secured to the base plate, and a plurality of second lateral supports secured to the base plate. The first lateral supports lie in a first plane and the second lateral supports lie in a second plane. The first plane and the second plane each intersect the base plate and the first plane is disposed at an angle relative to the second plane. The composite floor panel also includes a concrete portion coupled to and supported by the first lateral supports and the second lateral supports.
Claims23
A composite floor panel, comprising:
- a frame assembly having a base plate, a plurality of first lateral supports secured to the base plate, and a plurality of second lateral supports secured to the base plate, wherein the first lateral supports lie in a first plane and the second lateral supports lie in a second plane, wherein the first plane and the second plane each intersect the base plate and wherein the first plane is disposed at an angle relative to the second plane;
- and
- a concrete portion coupled to and supported by the first lateral supports and the second lateral supports.
A composite floor panel, comprising:
- a frame assembly comprising a base, a plurality of first supports and a plurality of second supports, each support having a first end and an opposing second end, the second end of each of the plurality of first and second supports being coupled to the base;
- and
- a concrete portion comprising
- a slab portion having a first surface,
- a first beam portion coupled to the slab portion and extending away from the first surface of the slab portion, and
- a second beam portion coupled to the slab portion and extending away from the first surface of the slab portion, wherein the first beam portion is spaced apart from the second beam portion, wherein the first ends of the plurality of first supports are coupled to the first beam portion and the first ends of the plurality of second supports are coupled to the second beam portion.
A method of forming a composite panel, comprising:
- securing a plurality of supports to a base plate;
- positioning a form with respect to the supports;
- and
- pouring concrete into the form to form a concrete portion having slab portion with a length and a width, a first beam portion, and a second beam portion spaced apart from each other relative to the width of the slab portion, wherein each of the first beam portion and the second beam portion extend along at least a portion of the length of the slab portion and away from a top surface of the slab portion.
A precast structural floor system, comprising:
- a plurality of girders;
- and
- a plurality of composite floor panels, each including a concrete portion and a frame assembly, wherein the concrete portion includes a concrete slab having a length and a width, a first beam portion and a second beam portion extending from a top surface of the concrete slab, the first beam portion and the second beam portion being spaced apart from each other relative to the width of the concrete slab and each extending along at least a portion of the length of the concrete slab, and wherein the frame assembly includes a base plate and at least one support assembly including first supports extending between the first beam portion and the base plate and second supports extending between the second beam portion and the base plate.
The precast structural floor system of 22, wherein a second lateral edge is further from the base plate with respect to a horizontal direction than an edge of a first lateral portion is from the base plate with respect to the horizontal direction.
