    Up to 20% programme savings

    No mesh to purchase, transport or store

    Reduction in crane hire costs

    Potential concrete volume savings

    Easier to Install

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    concrete volume for any slab depth,

    providing a more sustainable

    solution and reducing costs.

    Enhanced shear-stud interaction

    Profile design guarantees central

    shear-stud positioning to optimise

    composite action, reducing the need

    for on-site checking.

    Excellent acoustic and

    fire performance

    Manufactured with closed ends to

    give exceptional fire protection and

    acoustic performance, while

    simplifying installation.

    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.

    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.

    Composite Floor Decks 19

    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

    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
