Introduction
FibreFlor Mesh Free Composite Floor System
Benefits of FibreFlorCost Savings
Labour cost savings
Up to 20% programme savings
No mesh to purchase, transport or store
Reduction in crane hire costs
Potential concrete volume savings
Easier to Install
No hoisting / lifting or manual handling of mesh
No steel fixing/tying requirements
No spacer requirements
3-Dimensional reinforcement delivered ready mixed
in concrete
Easier concrete application (No trip hazards or snagging
from mesh)
Fibre reinforcement always in the correct position
Technical Superiority
Independent testing proves that the FibreFlor system
provides equivalent or superior performance to traditional
welded wire mesh solutions.
Quality assured concrete reinforcement system.
FibreFlor is proven to reduce plastic shrinkage and
settlement cracking.
Unlike macro-synthetic fibres, the micro-synthetic fibres
in FibreFlor are also proven to mitigate the explosive
spalling tendency of concrete during fires.
The inclusion of steel fibres in FibreFlor provides load
bearing capabilities, increased toughness and long term
crack control.
FibreFlor is a partnership between Corus and Propex
Concrete Systems, the worlds largest supplier of fibre
reinforcement for concrete. FibreFlor uses a combination
of high performance steel fibres and polypropylene
micro-synthetic fibres to provide a three dimensional
fibre reinforced concrete composite slab.
Traditionally composite metal deck construction utilises
mesh fabric reinforcement. This involves the delivery, lifting
and installation of welded wire mesh on to the floor prior to
the pouring of concrete. The time and costs involved make
mesh relatively unpopular with contractors and the mesh
itself is a hindrance to other site operations. Maintaining
the correct mesh height, position, concrete cover and laps
can be difficult during mesh placement and concrete
pouring.
FibreFlor reinforcement is provided within the concrete,
delivered and ready to pump at site. Significantly this can
reduce installation times by up to 20%.
FibreFlor is a certified floor deck system that eliminates the
need for steel wire mesh and is currently available as
FibreFlor CF51, FibreFlor CF60 & FibreFlor CF80.

BS ISO 9001:2000 Quality systems. Corus Panels and
Profiles is an active member of MCRMA (Metal Cladding
and Roll Forming Manufacturers Association), The SCI
(Steel Construction Institute), BCSA (British Constructional
Steelwork Association) and supports the research and
development industry wide.
The widest range of shallow decksFrom ComFlor 46 all the way to ComFlor 100 the Corus
range of decks provides the optimum solution for all over
beam applications.
Covering unpropped construction from 2.5 to 4.5 metres
each ComFlor profile offers particular application benefits.
The shallow decks are suitable for conventional composite
construction where the deck is placed onto the top flange
of the steel support beam.
Two deep composite floor decksComFlor 210 and ComFlor 225 are both designed to be
used with the Corus Slimdek system, which uses
asymmetric beams. The floor deck lands on the wider
bottom flange of the Asymmetric beam.
With typical unpropped spans extending to 6 metres and
propped spans to 9 metres the deep decks provide clear
open space between beams. The deck is contained within
the beam depth, which provides a very shallow floor zone.
The shape of the deck profiles allow for service integration
and the whole system provides inherent fire resistance.

Full designcan be carried out using the free Comdeksoftware. Please refer to page 70 for help on using the software.
Anti-crack meshBS 5950: Part 4 currently recommends that anti-crack mesh should comprise 0.1% of slab area.The Eurocode 4 recommendation is that anti-crack mesh should comprise 0.2% of slab areafor unpropped spans and 0.4% of slab area for
propped spans. The mesh shown in the quickreference tables complies with EC4 and thedesign program defaults to these values. WhereEC4 mesh rules are used, the mesh may bereduced midspan - see Design Information onpage 32. The reduced British Standard meshvalues may still be used by overriding this defaultin the design program.
Where forklift truck (or other similar concentratedloading) is expected 0.5% minimum percentagereinforcement should be used over the supportsand 2% elsewhere to control cracking. Forfurther information refer to Design Notes on page 32 or SCI AD150.
Mesh top cover must be a minimum of 15mm,and a maximum of 30mm. Mesh laps are to be300mm for A142 mesh and 400mm for A193,A252 & A393 mesh.

Composite Floor Decks 11
ComFlor 51
Shear studs
The wide trough of ComFlor 51
permits a flexible and efficient
placement of shear studs.
Fire performance of the
composite beams
Even for two hours fire rating, the
top flange of the steel beam does
not require fire protection, when
used with ComFlor 51 composite
deck.
Under floor services
Services are easy to attach to
ComFlor 51, with the ribs
presenting a dovetailed recessed
groove in the concrete slab at
152.5mm centres. This provides the
perfect connection for service
hangars via a wedge nut or similar
type device.
Fire performance of the slab
The dovetail presents a very small
opening and contributes little to the
transfer of heat through the slab in
the event of fire. Thus a lesser slab
depth is needed for fire design
purposes.
ComFlor 51Shallow composite profile
10 Composite Floor Decks
ComFlor 51 is a traditional dovetail re-entrant composite
floor deck. This profile provides an excellent mechanical
key into the concrete slab, offering a strong shear bond
performance, which is augmented by cross stiffeners
located in the profile trough. ComFlor 51 presents a
virtually flat soffit and a relatively thin slab is required to
meet fire design requirements.
ComFlor 51 Design Information
Design NotesDeck materialCorus Galvatite, hot dip zinc coated steel EN10326-S350GD+Z275. Guaranteed minimumyield stress 350N/mm2. Minimum zinc coatingmass 275g/m2 total both sides.
Quick reference tablesThe quick reference load/span and fire designtables, on the following 2 pages are intended asa guide for initial design, based on theparameters stated below the tables. Full designcan be carried out using the free Comdeksoftware. Please refer to page 70 for help on using the software.
Anti-crack meshBS 5950: Part 4 currently recommends that anti-crack mesh should comprise 0.1% of slab area.The Eurocode 4 recommendation is that anti-crack mesh should comprise 0.2% of slab areafor unpropped spans and 0.4% of slab area for
propped spans. The mesh shown in the quickreference tables complies with EC4 and thedesign program defaults to these values. WhereEC4 mesh rules are used, the mesh may bereduced midspan - see Design Information onpage 32. The reduced British Standard meshvalues may still be used by overriding this defaultin the design program.
Where forklift truck (or other similar concentratedloading) is expected 0.5% minimum percentagereinforcement should be used over the supportsand 2% elsewhere to control cracking. Forfurther information refer to Design Notes on page 32 or SCI AD150.
Mesh top cover must be a minimum of 15mm,and a maximum of 30mm. Mesh laps are to be300mm for A142 mesh and 400mm for A193,A252 & A393 mesh.
FireFor details of the performance of compositeslabs comprising ComFlor 51 decking under a fire condition with nominal anti-crack mesh,please refer to the quick reference fire load tablesin this brochure. For other simplified designcases or for full fire engineering, refer to theComdek software.

12 Composite Floor Decks
ComFlor 51 Using Mesh - quick reference tablesFibreFlor CF51 Mesh Free - quick reference tables
Parameters assumed for quick reference span tables
Mesh See notes on page 11. (Mesh is not required forFibreFlor)
Spans Measured centre to centre of supports.
Deck Standard deck material specification (see previouspage).
Bearing width The width of the support is assumed to be 150mm.
Prop width Assumed to be 100mm.
Deflection Construction stage L/130 or 30mm (ponding has been taken into account).
Deflection Composite stage L/350.
Concrete grade The concrete is assumed to be grade 35 with amaximum aggregate size of 20mm. The wet weight ofconcrete is taken to be normal weight 2400kg/m3 andlightweight 1900 kg/m3. The modular ratio is 10 fornormal weight and 15 for lightweight concrete.
Construction load 1.5 kN/m2 construction load is taken into account,inaccordance with BS 5950:Part 4. No allowance ismade for heaping of concrete during the castingoperation. See design notes.
Applied load The applied load stated in the tables is to coverimposed live load, partition loads, finishes, ceilings andservices. However the dead load of the slab itself hasalready been taken into account and need not beconsidered as part of the applied load.
Simplified fire The fire recommendations in the tables are based ondesign method the simplified design method.
Fire engineering The fire engineering (FE) method may be used tomethod calculate the additional reinforcement needed for fire,
load and span conditions beyond the scope of thesetables. The FE method of design is provided in thedesign CD.
Fire insulation The minimum slab thickness indicated in each table,for each fire rating satisfies the fire insulationrequirements of BS 5950: Part 8.
Span/depth ratio Slab span to depth ratio is limited to 30 for lightweightconcrete and 35 for normal weight concrete.

range of flooring profiles by Corus
14 Composite Floor Decks
The ComFlor 60 composite floor profile offers the
ultimate in lightweight steel decking for all multi-rise
buildings. It combines exceptional spanning capabilities
with reduced concrete useage to provide a cost-effective
and attractive floor solution thats easy to install.
The state-of-the-art profile has been developed using
roll-forming techniques pioneered by Corus, drawing on
our 20 years of experience in designing advanced
composite floor systems.
Engineered with optional closed ends, ComFlor 60
provides excellent acoustic performance and fire
protection, with no requirement for filler blocks. Its profile
has been specially designed with trough stiffeners and side
laps positioned to guarantee centrally placed shear studs.
The cover width is just 600mm, creating lightweight
sheets that are easy to handle delivering significant
on-site safety benefits.
ComFlor 60 sheets are available with a Colorcoat
pre-finished steel coated underside giving a durable and
attractive appearance and minimising future maintenance.

Anti-crack meshBS 5950: Part 4 currently recommends that anti-crack mesh should comprise 0.1% of slabarea. The Eurocode 4 recommendation is thatanti-crack mesh should comprise 0.2% of slabarea for unpropped spans and 0.4% of slab area
for propped spans. The mesh shown in the quickreference tables complies with EC4 and thedesign program defaults to these values. WhereEC4 mesh rules are used, the mesh may bereduced midspan - see Design Information onpage 32. The reduced British Standard meshvalues may still be used by overriding this defaultin the design program.

ComFlor 60 Using Mesh - quick reference tablesFibreFlor CF60 Mesh Free - quick reference tables
Parameters assumed for quick reference span tables
Mesh See notes on previous page. (Mesh is not required forFibreFlor)
Spans Measured centre to centre of supports.
Deck Standard deck material specification (see previouspage).
Bearing width The width of the support is assumed to be 150mm.
Prop width Assumed to be 100mm.
Deflection Construction stage L/130 or 30mm (ponding has been taken into account).
Deflection Composite stage L/350.
Concrete grade The concrete is assumed to be grade 35 with amaximum aggregate size of 20mm. The wet weight ofconcrete is taken to be normal weight 2400kg/m3 andlightweight 1900 kg/m3. The modular ratio is 10 fornormal weight and 15 for lightweight concrete.
Construction load 1.5 kN/m2 construction load is taken into account,inaccordance with BS 5950:Part 4. No allowance ismade for heaping of concrete during the castingoperation. See design notes.
Applied load The applied load stated in the tables is to coverimposed live load, partition loads, finishes, ceilings andservices. However the dead load of the slab itself hasalready been taken into account and need not beconsidered as part of the applied load.
Simplified fire The fire recommendations in the tables are based ondesign method the simplified design method.
Fire engineering The fire engineering (FE) method may be used tomethod calculate the additional reinforcement needed for fire,
load and span conditions beyond the scope of thesetables. The FE method of design is provided in thedesign CD.
Fire insulation The minimum slab thickness indicated in each table,for each fire rating satisfies the fire insulationrequirements of BS 5950: Part 8.
Span/depth ratio Slab span to depth ratio is limited to 30 for lightweightconcrete and 35 for normal weight concrete.

ComFlor 60 Using Mesh - quick reference tablesFibreFlor CF60 Mesh Free - quick reference tables
Parameters assumed for quick reference span tables
Mesh See notes on previous page. (Mesh is not required forFibreFlor)
Spans Measured centre to centre of supports.
Deck Standard deck material specification (see previouspage).
Bearing width The width of the support is assumed to be 150mm.
Prop width Assumed to be 100mm.
Deflection Construction stage L/130 or 30mm (ponding has been taken into account).
Deflection Composite stage L/350.
Concrete grade The concrete is assumed to be grade 35 with amaximum aggregate size of 20mm. The wet weight ofconcrete is taken to be normal weight 2400kg/m3 andlightweight 1900 kg/m3. The modular ratio is 10 fornormal weight and 15 for lightweight concrete.
Construction load 1.5 kN/m2 construction load is taken into account,inaccordance with BS 5950:Part 4. No allowance ismade for heaping of concrete during the castingoperation. See design notes.
Applied load The applied load stated in the tables is to coverimposed live load, partition loads, finishes, ceilings andservices. However the dead load of the slab itself hasalready been taken into account and need not beconsidered as part of the applied load.
Simplified fire The fire recommendations in the tables are based ondesign method the simplified design method.
Fire engineering The fire engineering (FE) method may be used tomethod calculate the additional reinforcement needed for fire,
load and span conditions beyond the scope of thesetables. The FE method of design is provided in thedesign CD.
Fire insulation The minimum slab thickness indicated in each table,for each fire rating satisfies the fire insulationrequirements of BS 5950: Part 8.
Span/depth ratio Slab span to depth ratio is limited to 30 for lightweightconcrete and 35 for normal weight concrete.

ComFlor 80
Central stud placement provides
superb composite action between
the beam and concrete due to the
stud being positioned exactly in the
centre of the trough. This ensures
the correct concrete cover to the
stud and hence, the full design
capacity of the stud is developed.
The central location of the stud also
reduces on-site checking to ensure
that the stud has been positioned
correctly.
Ideal for car parks
ComFlor 80 is available with a
Colorcoat pre-finished steel
underside for use in car parks,
giving a durable and attractive
appearance and minimising future
maintenance.
Excellent concrete usage means
that ComFlor 80 is very economical
compared to other similar decks.
Improved manual handling
The cover width of ComFlor 80 is
600mm, to reduce sheet weight and
improve handling.
The innovative profile design provides real benefits.
ComFlor 80 is fully tested with the
Fibreflor system to provide all the no
mesh benefits. See following pages
for the load tables and further design
information.
FibreFlor mesh free system
ComFlor 80The next generation of
profiled steel composite decks
18 Composite Floor Decks
ComFlor 80 is the next generation of profiled steel
composite decks; it is the only 80mm profile available in
Colorcoat pre-finished steel to provide a durable and
attractive appearance.
The large corner curvature detail provides a very efficient
profile. In conjunction with the higher grade of steel, it ensures
typical unpropped spans of 4.4m simply supported and in the
continuous condition, spans of 5m can be achieved.
The large spans achievable means less structural steel
and thus cost saving in the overall construction cost,
providing more scope for architects and engineers in their
design process.

Anti-crack meshBS 5950: Part 4 currently recommends that anti-crack mesh should comprise 0.1% of slabarea. The Eurocode 4 recommendation is thatanti-crack mesh should comprise 0.2% of slabarea for unpropped spans and 0.4% of slab area
for propped spans. The mesh shown in the quickreference t
