Abstract
A composite floor panel includes a concrete floor deck having a side portion and an edge member secured to the side portion. The edge member is configured to be positioned in proximity to an adjacent edge member. The adjacent edge member is coupled to an adjacent concrete floor deck. The edge member is further configured to have a junction formed between the edge member and the adjacent edge member to define a channel. The edge member is further configured to have a binder material placed in the channel to form a joint between the concrete floor deck and the adjacent concrete floor deck.

1-32. (canceled)
A composite girder, comprising:
- a concrete stem wall;
- a flange beam coupled to a lower portion of the concrete stem wall;
- and
- a saddle secured to the flange beam, the saddle having a recess defined therein configured to receive at least a portion of a floor panel therein.
A precast structural floor system, comprising:
- a composite floor panel having a steel panel beam;
- and
- a composite girder having a concrete stem wall, a flange beam secured to the concrete stem wall, and a saddle secured to the flange beam, wherein the saddle is configured to receive at least a portion of the steel panel beam therein.
A method of forming a precast structural floor system, comprising:
- precasting a composite floor panel having a steel panel beam;
- precasting a composite girder beam having a flange beam;
- securing a saddle to the flange beam, the saddle defining a recess defined therein configured to receive at least a portion of the steel panel beam;
- and
- forming a joint between the composite floor panel and the composite girder beam, wherein forming the joint includes placing at least a portion of the steel panel beam into the saddle.
A method of forming a precast structural floor system, comprising:
- precasting a composite floor panel having a concrete portion and a panel joint plate anchored to the concrete portion;
- precasting a composite girder having a concrete stem wall and a girder joint plate anchored to the concrete stem wall;
- and
- securing the panel joint plate to the girder joint plate to form a joint.
