Abstract
A construction of girder and joist supports for framed concrete slabs wherein continuous metal decking and standard joists are used and wherein rigid connections are established between the concrete and the girders by means of shear connectors which are embedded in the concrete and connected to extensions fixed to the tops of the girders.
Claims11
A framed concrete slab structure comprising at least one girder having an upper surface, at least one joist intersecting said at least one girder along the upper surface of said at least one girder, said at least one joist being supported by the upper surface of said at least one girder, and continuous deck means disposed to rest on said joist spaced above said girder by said joist and adapted to receive poured concrete thereon,
- shear connector mounting means mounted on said upper surface of said at least one girder and spaced away and separate from said joist, said shear connector mounting means projecting upwardly from said upper surface of said at least one girder, and
- a shear connector mounted to said shear connector mounting means and projecting upwardly therefrom, said shear connector having an upper portion thereof extending through an opening defined in said continuous deck means so that said upper portion of said shear connector is adapted to be embedded in said poured concrete on said deck means.
A framed concrete slab structure comprising at least one girder having an upper surface, at least one joist intersecting said at least one girder along the upper surface of said at least one girder, said at least one joist being supported by the upper surface of said at least one girder, and continuous deck means disposed to rest on said joist spaced above said girder by said joist and adapted to receive poured concrete thereon,
- shear connector means mounted on said upper surface of said at least one girder and projecting upwardly therefrom, said shear connector means being spaced away and separate from said joist on said upper surface of said girder,
- said shear connector means having a portion extending through at least one opening provided in said continuous deck means, said portion of said shear connector means extending through said opening being adapted to become embedded in said poured concrete on said deck means.
